Epigram 59. To my dear Cousin Mr. Robert Milwand
From A Chain of Golden Poems (1658)
Relationships
Whil'st you retir'd at Alsop in the Dale,
With Poets and Philosophers converse;
And o're Voluminous Law-books do prevail,
And those hours you from study steal, desperse
Into your Oeconomical Affairs,
You mixe much pleasure with some easie cares.
