Epigram 57. To my noble Cousin Mr. William Milward
From A Chain of Golden Poems (1658)
Relationships
When I have wanted company sometimes,
I've made my self merry with writing rhimes;
And I do hope that reading them you will
Laugh too, and pardon what you finde too ill:
For worth your approbation here is nought;
My whole book being a continual fault.
