Poem by Henry King, Bishop of Chichester

Upon a Braid of Hair in a Heart sent by Mrs. E. H.

In this small Character is sent
My Loves eternal Monument.
Whil'st we shall live, know, this chain'd Heart
Is our affections counter-part.
And if we never meet, think I
Bequeath'd it as my Legacy.

1. The Pink
2. To My Sister Anne King, Who Chid Me In Verse For Being Angry
3. On Two Children Dying Of One Disease, And Buried In One Grave
4. Sonnet. Dry those fair, those chrystal eyes
5. Sonnet. I Prethee Turn That Face Away
