TO SIR CLISEBIE CREW, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Since to th' country first I came
Last Line: Be in prose a gratefull man.


Since to th' Country first I came,
I have lost my former flame:
And, methinks, I not inherit,
As I did, my ravisht spirit.
If I write a Verse, or two,
'Tis with very much ado;
In regard I want that Wine,
Which sho'd conjure up a line.
Yet, though now of Muse bereft
I have still the manners left
For to thanke you (Noble Sir)
For those gifts you do conferre
Upon him, who only can
Be in Prose a gratefull man.
