Epigram 35. To Mr. Humphrey Mosley, and Mr. Humphrey Robinson

by Sir Aston Cokain 1608–1684

From A Chain of Golden Poems (1658)

Relationships

In the large book of Playes you late did print
(In Beaumonts and in Fletchers name) why in't
Did you not justice? give to each his due?
For Beaumont (of those many) writ in few:
And Massinger in other few; the Main
Being sole Issues of sweet Fletchers brain.
But how came I (you ask) so much to know?
Fletchers chief bosome-friend inform'd me so.
Ith'next impression therefore justice do,
And print their old ones in one volume too:
For Beaumonts works, & Fletchers should come forth
With all the right belonging to their worth.
