147. To Gilbert Knyveton, Gentleman.

You beare his Name that beare me much good-will,
And bound me with the golden tyes of Love
T'addresse my service to his Off-spring still:
Whose true devoire may it accepted prove,
So shall the wandring Starre of my desire
Be culminant, nor farther needs t'aspire:
