Relationships

Among the many friends that I do name,
Neglected I do mention you, 'twere shame.
You were my Tutour; and tis fit I show
The world a Part of the Respects I owe:
Let this poor trifle be an atome of it,
Although to my disgrace and your no profit.
Expect from your learn'd Pupils Works of Art;
I can present you but a grateful heart.
