Epigram 6. To Mr. Charles Hutchinson my Cousin German

by Sir Aston Cokain 1608–1684

From A Chain of Golden Poems (1658)

Relationships

Cousin, I long to see you married well,
And long (at Rawslison) to see you dwell.
Then I should oft wait on you, make some stay;
It being (from Pooly t' Ashburn) in the way.
So I should make your house mine Inne; what tho?
W'are friends, and neer a kin: Pray be mine so.
