Comiato.
To the Reverend the now Dr. James Gardiner
Sub-Dean of Lincoln.
Song, in the Country little understood,
For my dear Gardiner, at the Town inquire,
And all thy heat into his gen'rous Brest inspire,
To mingle with a nobler Fire,
Which lies at present smouldring in his Blood!
Perchance thou may'st effectual prove,
To make that upward, tow'rds its Center, move,
And him in softest lays rehearse the HOLIEST LOVE.
1668.
