This is probably not what you're looking for, but I went poking around As You Like It (since Rosalind and Celia are cousins) and got:
Sweet are the uses of adversity, Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, Wears yet a precious jewel in his head. And this our life, exempt from public haunt, Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in everything. (II.i.11-17)
(Unfortunately Celia and Rosalind are closer than you and your cousin.)
Also I searched "benediction" at Poetry Foundation and got this poem.
