From A Chain of Golden Poems (1658)
Relationships
Hail Maid, and wife! But (Cousin) I wish you
Had chang'd that name (were older) for a new.
But this is not enough without another:
I wish you quickly too an happy Mother.
Rushton and Roster both expect you shood
Unite them strictlier by so great a good:
Cokaines and Trenthams then their joys will tell;
So till a Christning come (Cousin) Farewell.
