Here you will find the Poem With Penne, Inke, And Paper To A Distressed Friend of poet William Strode
Here is paper, pen, and inke, That your heart and seale may sinke Into such markes as may expresse A Soule much blest in heavinesse. May your paper seeme as fayre As yourselfe when you appeare: May the Letters which you write Looke like black eye-lids on white. May your penne such fancies bring As one new puld from Cupid's wing: That your paper, hand, and seale His favour, heart, and Soule may steale.
