To his worthy esteemed good Friend Mr. Iohn Wadland (sonne of Mr. George Wadland of Leicester)
and to his vertuous Sisters, Mrs. Anne Wadland, Mrs. Susanna, Mrs. Martha, and Mrs. Mary Wadland, &c.
When I forget to thinke on ye,My selfe must cease my selfe to be,
For sooner may my flesh dissolve,
And humid earth my bones involve;
Yea sooner shall the glorious Sunne,
Loose its bright lustre, and the Moone,
Rapt in sable Clouds of Night,
Cease to give her silver light,
Than I forget what your desert,
Hath lively graven in my heart.
Yours obliged to doe you service, S. P.
