So much religion in your name doth dwell, <br />Your soul must needs with piety excel. <br />Thus names, like well-wrought pictures drawn of old, <br />Their owners' nature and their story told. <br />Your name but half expresses, for in you <br />Belief and practice do together go. <br />My prayers shall be, while this short life endures, <br />These may go hand in hand, with you and yours; <br />Till faith hereafter is in vision drowned, <br />And practice is with endless glory crowned.<br /><br />John Dryden<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/impromptu-lines-addressed-to-his-cousin-mrs-creed-in-a-conversation-after-dinner-on-the-origin-of-names/
