6. To those Excellent Conveyancers, Sir Orlando Bridgman; and the worthy Mr. Geofry Palmer.
Wise Greece, & Rome, did both in this combine;To make addresses, to the Delphian Shrine.
And with divine Apollo to advise;
Was the Preludium of an Enterprise.
Few English men, dare purchase an Estate;
Unless your Wisdom's unsophisticate
The Title vouch. Ye can stop Hymens way;
For Portions, Joyntures, both Sexes must pay,
Due Thanks. Wise Fathers, Ranters keep in awe;
Craving from ye (the Oracles of Law)
Help to entail their Lands: Whilst your selves be,
Tenants of Riches, of Renown, in Fee.
