[Fair Heir of All Your Mothers Good]
Fair Heir of All Your Mothers Good(Wit, Vertue, Beauty, Bounty, Blood)
Among the Honors that accrue,
By Her Decease divolv'd to You,
Mine humble Service and This Song
(How little) doth not least belong
(In Little lies a mickle Right;
As in a Million, in a Mite)
To her Memoriall, and Your Merit,
True Mirror of Minerva's Spirit.
Accept it therefore, double Yours;
By Her Donation, and by Ours,
Humbly devoted, (as most-bound)
To Both Your Noble Families, Iosvah Sylvester.
