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.



Henry King, Bishop of Chichester
