| | In a Conversation after Dinner on the Origin of Names |
|
SO 1 much Religion in your Name doth dwell, | |
| Your Soul must needs with Piety excel. | |
| Thus Names, like [ ] Pictures drawn of old, | |
| Their owners’ Nature and their Story told. | |
| Your Name but half expresses, for in you | 5 |
| Belief and Practice do together go. | |
| My Pray’rs shall be, while this short Life endures, | |
| These may go Hand in Hand, with you and yours; | |
| Till Faith hereafter is in Vision drown’d, | |
| And Practice is with endless Glory crown’d. | 10 |
