TO HIS WORTHY FRIEND, M. ARTHUR BARTLY, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: When after many lusters thou shalt be
Last Line: Here with the generation of my just.


When after many Lusters thou shalt be
Wrapt up in Seare-cloth with thine Ancestrie:
When of thy ragg'd Escutcheons shall be seene
So little left, as if they ne'r had been:
Thou shalt thy Name have, and thy Fames best trust,
Here with the Generation of my Just.
