TO MR. STANLEY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Stars in their rising little show
Last Line: May only be thy parely's.
Alternate Author Name(s): Hall Of Durham, John

STARS in their rising little show,
And send forth trembling flames; but thou
At first appearance dost display
A bright and unobscured day;
Such as shall fear no night, nor shall
Thy setting be Heliacall,
But grow up to a sun, and take
A laurel for thy Zodiac;
That all which henceforth shall arise,
May only be thy Parely's.
