 | The Shorter Poems of Ralph Knevet |  |
[36] To Mr. RAPH BLEVER-HASSIT.
Not onely thy affection did I priseShowne to our Militarie exercise,
When here I wrote thy name (deserving Hassit)
No, no: thy honestie, and vertue was it,
That wonne me to this taske; then here I give
What next high heaven, may make the[e] longest live.
I hope youl' kindly take't; for I dare say,
Such presents are not brought you every day.
