61. To my honoured kinsman Mr. Henry Kendal the younger.

Your Grand-Mother was hospitable, did
Invite me often to her house, and bid
Me hearty welcome; And I hope to prove
The like effects hereafter of your love.

For once will venture on a Prophesy:
You shall at Smithsby flourish, gain the Hearts
Of all your Countrey by your worthy Parts.
