18. To my Cousin Mr. Charles Cotton, an Acrostick.
Cousin, I write to you that you may know
How much I love you, and how much would show:
All that I can I will do, and have good
Reason to do much more, and if I coo'd.
Long time I have desired to express
Each thought I have of my own happiness;
Such you have made me by your love, and do
How much I love you, and how much would show:
All that I can I will do, and have good
Reason to do much more, and if I coo'd.
Long time I have desired to express
Each thought I have of my own happiness;
Such you have made me by your love, and do
Compel me each day more to honour you.
O 'tis a noble part in you to make
True friendship wheresoe're you undertake.
Thus you do live, and living so you may
Omit the care of your departing day;
No death can raze your memory away.
O 'tis a noble part in you to make
True friendship wheresoe're you undertake.
Thus you do live, and living so you may
Omit the care of your departing day;
No death can raze your memory away.
