To my truly-esteemed and highly-respected Cosin,
Thomas Hutton Esquire; A Member of the Honourable Society of Grais-Inne.
To you, though younger, yet the same in blood,Send I this patterne of parentall good:
Whose imitation shall you more advance
Then Fortunes portion, or Inheritance.
For those to Moales of worthlesse mindes are given,
Where these Lines chalke you out your way to heaven:
Makes you Corrivall with your Elder Brother;
Whom as I live I love; and in him you:
“This shall my Muse in richest raptures shew.
While Memory o're your dead Father reares
A Shrine bedewed with Astræas Teares.
