To My Most Deare, and No Lesse Worthily-Beloved Friend and Pupill, Henry Mainwarring Esquier
Heroicke Pupill , and most honor'd Friend
to thee , as to my Moitie , I bequeath
Halfe th' other halfe , beginning, at mine end ,
to make (I hope) me triumph ouer Death .
My Sonne (sole Sonne , and, all I euer had)
vnto thy Care and Seruice I commend:
So, make me Sonnelesse , till you make me glad
with your Returne from this Worlds further end .
The Absence of so deare a Sonne as thou,
must needes affect thine honor'd Sire with Griefe
But, for thy good he doth his Griefe subdue:
so, doe I mine , by his , sith his is chiefe:
Then, with my Sonne , take thou my Hart and these
Celestiall Charmes , in Stormes , to calme the Seas .
