Epigram 115. To my honoured kinsman Mr. Edward Darcy

by Sir Aston Cokain 1608–1684

From A Chain of Golden Poems (1658)

Relationships

Repair your house at Newhall, and hast down,
And leave the noise of this expenceful Town:
You here deprive your self of many a good
To be enjoy'd by Countrey-solitude.
Pretend not want of Companie; For I
Will waite upon you oft, that live thereby.
You may reply you better would; I grant it:
Keep a good house there, and you need not want it.
