Classic Poem

Cambrick! with grateful blessings would I pay
The pleasure given me in sweat employ;
Long may'st thou serve my friend without decay,
And have no Tears to wipe, but Tears of joy!

Cambrick! Thou'st been to me a Good,
And I would bless thee if I could.
Go, serve thy Mistress with delight,
Be small in compass, soft & white;
Enjoy thy fortune, honour'd much
To bear her name & feel her touch;
And that thy worth may last for years,
Slight be her Colds & few her Tears. —
