On the death of a child a yeare ould . x How can Heauens Voyage long or hard appeare, This feeble Infant went it in a yeare. Yet Reader let not Strenght Secure delay, For many dye before the'are on their way. Here Contemplation to the iourney fit, This blest one was her whole life goeing it. On Prince Henry . x Within this marble casket lyes A matchlesse Iewel of rich prize Which Nature in the Worlds disdaine B ut shewed and then put vp againe. page break 4. On Richard Earle of Dorset x Let no profane ignoble foote tread neere This hallowed peece of Earth; Dorset lyes here A Small Sad relique of a noble Spirit, Free as the Aire and ample as his Merit. Whose least perfection was large, and great, Enough to make a common man compleat. A Soule refin'd and cull'd from many men, That reconcil'd the Sword vnto the pen, Vsing both well. No proud forgetting Lord, But mindfull of meane Names and of his word. One that did loue for honnor not for ends, And had the noblest way of making friends. By louing first. One that did know the Court, Yet better vnderstood it by report, Then practize. For he nothing tooke from thence, But the Kings fauour for his recompence. One for Religion or his Countryes good,
