128. To George.
If you will be in my Book, which you see,Guilty enough of lazy Poetrie;
If the Praise of your Family, I take
For Theme; of you I'll seldom mention make:
Or if to give ye thanks, my verse should strive;
To you (as you deserve) I cannot Give.
My Love, and liking do to you belong;
'Cause you are not accus'd in any Song.
Or noble George! shall I upon you call?
Then you must sit, inferiour to all.
And to spin out longer Discourse, with you;
My Muse is willing: but she knows not how.
