TO HIS KINSMAN, SIR THO. SOAME, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Seeing thee soame, I see a goodly man
Last Line: The golden chain too, and the civick crown.


Seeing thee Soame, I see a Goodly man,
And in that Good, a great Patrician.
Next to which Two; among the City-Powers,
And Thrones, thy selfe one of Those Senatours:
Not wearing Purple only for the show;
(As many Conscripts of the Citie do)
But for True Service, worthy of that Gowne,
The Golden chain too, and the Civick Crown.
