<HEAD>EPITAPH On the Death of the much Honoured S^r^. <HI>Rodger Hog.</HI> Of HARCARSE.</HEAD>
<HEAD TYPE="sub">Sometime a Senator of the <HI>College of Ju&s;tice.</HI></HEAD>
<LG>
<L>AT the mo&s;t &s;ilent Hour of Night, when Sleep</L>
<L>With a fa&s;t Pre&s;&s;ure o're Mans Sen&s;e doth creep,</L>
<L>A Dull and Heavy Weight, methought, did ly</L>
<L>Upon my Soul; I wept, but knew not why,</L>
<L>Till in my View, Ah me! there &s;oon appears</L>
<L>A Company, all Sad, and all in Tears.</L>
<L>I look'd: And as they pa&s;t, each Man I thought,</L>
<L>In broken Words, his Neighbour &s;omething taught:</L>
<L>Ju&s;t was I going to ask, when lo! I &s;ee</L>
<L>What Them Afflicted, and Affected me;</L>
<L>A Mourning Hear&s;e did follow, and on it,</L>
<L>To tell who lay within, the&s;e Lines in Writ.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The Good, the Godly, Generous, and Kind,</L>
<L>The be&s;t Companion, Father, Husband, Friend;</L>
<L>The &s;toute&s;t Patron to mantain a Cau&s;e,</L>
<L>The ju&s;te&s;t Judge to &s;quare it by the Laws;</L>
<L>Whom neither Force, nor Flatt'ry could incline</L>
<L>To &s;werve from Equity's Eternal Line:</L>
<L>Who in the Face of Tyranny could own,</L>
<L>He would his Con&s;cience keep, tho lo&s;e his Gown;</L>
<L>Who in his Privat and Retired State,</L>
<L>As u&s;eful was, as formerly when Great,</L>
<L>Becau&s;e his &s;quare and firmly temper'd Soul</L>
<L>Round whirling Fortune's Axis could not roll,</L>
<L>Nor by the Force of Prejudice or Pride</L>
<L>Be bent his Kindne&s;s to forgo or bide;</L>
<L>But &s;till in equal Temper, &s;till the &s;ame,</L>
<L>E&s;teeming Good Men, and E&s;teem'd by them:</L>
<L>A rare Example and Encouragement</L>
<L>Of Virtue, with an aged Life all &s;pent</L>
<L>Without a Stain, &s;till Flouri&s;hing and Green</L>
<L>In Pious Acts, more to be Felt than Seen.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When this I had with Intermi&s;&s;ions Read,</L>
<L>(For Floods of Tears the&s;e Intermi&s;&s;ions made)</L>
<L>I could not &s;tay to &s;earch out for his Name,</L>
<L>For well I knew that <HI>HARCARSE</HI> was the &s;ame.</L>
