To My Lord Harley: Extempore

by Matthew Prior 1664–1721

From Miscellaneous Works (Waller, 1907)

Relationships

PEN, ink, and wax, and paper send.
To the kind Wife, the lovely Friend ;
Smiling bid Her freely write,
What her happy thoughts indite ;
Of Virtue, Goodness, Peace, and Love,
Thoughts which Angels may approve.
