ABSTRACT
Cokain (1608-84), a landowner in the Midlands, was a poet and translator of some note in his day. As well as imitating and echoing Donne in his verses (see No. I, 1658) he several times paid explicit tribute to him (Small Poems oJDiverse Sorts, 1658, p. II3, and Epigram 99, The second Book).
