Nympha libethris, or, The Cotswold muse presenting some extempore verses to the imitation of yong [sic] scholars : in four parts.
Barksdale, Clement, 1609-1687.
II. To Sir W. C. of Glo.
AFter a chilling blast took me elsewhere,
My little family is replanted here,
Whom CHANDOS noble bounty now maintains;
And by Your Government, who hold the reigns
So gent•y, yet with skill and care, I have
For my innocuous Muse leisure and leave.
She is ambitious now to send you health,
And prepares for you, Th' Ebrew Commonwealth.
Why should not my poor studies honour you?
Where the Tree grows, sure there some fruit is due.
