TO HIS WORTHY KINSMAN, MR. STEPHEN SOAME, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Nor is my number full, till I inscribe
Last Line: Thee here in my eternall calender.


Nor is my Number full, till I inscribe
Thee sprightly Soame, one of my righteous Tribe:
A Tribe of one Lip; Leven, and of One
Civil Behaviour, and Religion.
A Stock of Saints; where ev'ry one doth weare
Among which Holies, be Thou ever known,
Brave Kinsman, markt out with the whiter stone:
Which seals Thy Glorie; since I doe prefer
Thee here in my eternall Calender.
