95. To the right honourable the Lord Winfield Cromwell Earle of Arglass, my noble kinsman.

My Lord, a share y'ave given me in a Grove:
But how shall I requite so great a Love?
If ever I (in any of my land)
Should Gold or silver find, you shall command:
I hope to get much money by your Lead,
If store of ore God Plutus there hath hid:
But should I gain no riches from your ground,
Yet I may boast that there your love I found.
