56. To my sweet Cousin Mrs. Isabella Milward.
Your noble father Sir Iohn Zouch (when youWas very young) occasion'd you to view
Virginia, took you thither, where some years
You spent, till you had moistned with your tears
His and your eldest sister Katharine's Tombe,
Interr'd so far from Codnor their old home.
After so sad a loss you thought it time
To return back unto your native clime,
Where your (by all men honour'd) husband found,
A richer Prize then all the spacious ground
Known by Vesputius surname ere did give;
And may you long together happy live.
