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. To the Queen at Oxford
2. To My Dead Friend Ben Johnson
3. To His Friends of Christ-Church upon the Mislike of the Marriage of the Arts Acted at Woodstock
4. Sonnet. Tell me you stars that our affections move
5. The Boyes Answer To The Blackmoor
