43. To my worthy Friend Colonel Edward Stamford.

Great-soul'd Achilles was a noble Friend;
Hector for valour every where renown'd;
Thousands the bounteous Cæsar did commend;
Antonius the best natur'd man was found.
What need I search for more in Rome or Greece?
You (in you) have the vertues of all these.
