Were an uncertain sort of Cousinry

Scarce claiming kindred so as to withhold

The donor's purpose though fantastical:

Heirs, for that matter, wanting no increase

Of wealth, since rich already as himself;

Heirs that had taken trouble off his hands,

Bought that productive goldsmith-business he,

With abnegation wise as rare, renounced

Precisely at a time of life when youth,

Nigh on departure, bids mid-age discard
