 | KOSMOBREVIA[Greek], or the infancy of the world |  |
To my Son (in Law) upon his Poem.
A silly Ass for some disaster,Reprov'd the madness of his Master:
And shall not I speak now in season,
Who am a man endued with reason;
Especially when God appears
So merciful to tender years;
In that he would his praise be sung
By one that was exceeding young;
To teach us how to bless his name,
Who all-things did of nothing frame:
My prayers shall still to God be sent,
To bless his little instrument.
Iohn Stodder.
