To Swarston
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book I
Social Commentaries
Swarston, when I behold thy pleasant sight,
Whose River runs a progresse of Delight,
Ioy'd with the beauties of fresh flowery plaines,
And bounteous fields, that crowne the Plow-mans paines:
I sigh (that see my native home estrang'd)
For Heaven, whose Lord and tenure's never chang'd.
