Epigram 43. To my worthy Friend Colonel Edward Stamford
From A Chain of Golden Poems (1658)
Relationships
Great-soul'd Achilles was a noble Friend;
Hector for valour every where renown'd;
Thousands the bounteous Caesar did commend;
Antonius the best natur'd man was found.
What need I search for more in Rome or Greece?
You (in you) have the vertues of all these.
