 | Flamma sine Fumo |  |
Upon Natures Darling, the young ingenuous Gentleman, Mr. James Jones
Son to Edmund Jones Esq;
He is in years a child; but if you scanThe ripeness of his wit, he is a man
This graff from such a gallant stock will be
In time succeeding, a most fruitful tree;
This Plant will prove a goodly Oak, and give
A pleasant shade the weary to relieve.
His Spring foretels the Autumn; and such rayes
Dart from the morning of his youthful days,
As do foreshew this Morning star will prove
A glorious body in the orb of Love.
Thus purest Springs, as they do forward go,
The wider still, and still the deeper grow.
