TO THE Right Honourable CHARLES, EARL of Dorset and Middlesex, &c.
My Lord,
Page [unnumbered]
'Tis true, a Mite is, in it self, but small,
But vast the store that gives a Mite to all:
You are that Store, my Lord, whose boundless mind,
In Iudgment firm, in Fancy unconfin'd,
Distributes Rayes of Sense to all Mankind.
It is but just then (as the Gods inspire
Earths sordid Clay with their Celestial Fire,
Which, whensoe're the dull Mass finds a Grave,
Returns again to the same God that gave)
I shou'd that little, All I have, restore;
But blush to think that 'tis improv'd no more.
I am,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's Faithful, And most humble Servant, R. Gould.
