All my ambition is, I own, to profit and to please unknown; like streams supplied from springs below, which scatter blessings as they go.

About
Charles Cotton was born in Alstonefield, Staffordshire, England. He was an English poet and writer. His Voyage to Ireland in Burlesque states that he held a Captain's commission and served in Ireland. Cotton's reputation as a burlesque writer may account for the neglect with which the rest of his poems have been treated.
