TO MR. STANLEY by JOHN HALL (1627-1656)

First Line: STARS IN THEIR RISING LITTLE SHOW
Last Line: MAY ONLY BE THY PARELY'S.
Subject(s): STANLEY, THOMAS (1625-1678);
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 @3Heliacall@1,
But grow up to a sun, and take
A laurel for thy Zodiac;
That all which henceforth shall arise,
May only be thy @3Parely's@1.
