Epigram 95. To Elveston a Town in Darbyshire
From A Chain of Golden Poems (1658)
Social Commentaries
Dear Elveston, that art a grace
Unto the Shire where I was born;
And Elveston, that art the Place
Where first I did salute the Morn;
The noble Stanhopes are thy praise,
Whom thou afford'st a birth, and Urne:
And may they flourish there always
Till th'world to Chaos doth return.
