Epigram 91. To my Cousin German Mr. John Stanhope of Elveston
From A Chain of Golden Poems (1658)
Relationships
When in an Epigram I did salute
Your other brothers, and of you was mute,
The reason was because I did not know
Whether that then you were alive or no.
Your safety I congratulate, and wish
You a long Life of as long happiness.
This Tribute of my Love to you I give,
Under the Honour of your Name to live.
