<L>But mark the &s;pleen of <HI>&V;nregarded</HI> Fate;</L>
<L>No Learned Funerall had infam'd the Year,</L>
<L>Nor was the <HI>State</HI> yet pen&s;iv'd with a <HI>Tear,</HI></L>
<L>The throng of <HI>Coar&s;es</HI> bid us only <HI>&s;ee</HI></L>
<L>And <HI>Tran&s;iently</HI> view <HI>Mortality;</HI></L>
<L>But this mo&s;t <HI>&s;orrowed</HI> Her&s;e commands us <HI>Weep,</HI></L>
<L>And &s;umd-up Grief as His <HI>Memoriall</HI> keep,</L>
<L>And in the &s;wollen <HI>Confluents</HI> of our Eyes,</L>
<L>Loves Univer&s;all <HI>Tribute</HI> to Comprize.</L>

<L>Here &s;hall the different <HI>Opinions</HI> meet,</L>
<L>And their divided &s;treams each other greet:</L>
<L>Here &s;hall the <HI>Murmuring</HI> Floods in Grief <HI>Conform,</HI></L>
<L>And their <HI>&s;ad pa&s;&s;ions rai&s;e</HI> without a <HI>&s;torm:</HI></L>
<L>While to the <HI>Ocean</HI> of his <HI>Fame</HI> they run,</L>
<L>Not minding whence their <HI>Rivulets</HI> begun;</L>
<L>For in this <HI>Ceremony</HI> all Unite,</L>
<L>And joyne <HI>Devotions</HI> in his Funerall Rite:</L>
<L>Mixing their Sighs and Prayers in concent,</L>
<L>And tax the <HI>Parcae</HI> not the <HI>Parliament.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But let us <HI>parentate</HI> who know to mourn</L>
<L>The Churches &s;orrow in this <HI>Prelates</HI> Urn.</L>
<L>And is our <HI>Father,</HI> our <HI>Re&s;torer</HI> dead?</L>

<L>On who&s;e ble&s;t <HI>Lips 3 Ga&s;ping</HI> Realms did wait:</L>
<L>And from his <HI>Oracle</HI> did receive their Fate;</L>
<L>He hath re&s;ign'd the Life he onely breath'd</L>
<L>The <HI>&V;&s;e</HI> to us was long before bequeath'd.</L>

<L>He that the <HI>Perplext di&s;cords</HI> of our <HI>peace,</HI></L>

<L>And like the <HI>Bapti&s;t</HI> fir&s;t <HI>prepar'd</HI> the way:</L>
<L>Him <HI>Orpheus, Galen,</HI> Prayers could not &s;ave,</L>
<L>Nor free the <HI>Captive</HI> from the <HI>Conquering</HI> Grave:</L>
<L>Time was <HI>Obliged;</HI> 'twas in vain to &s;ue,</L>
<L>Ble&s;t <HI>Re&s;titution,</HI> thy <HI>Fir&s;t Fruits</HI> were <HI>Due.</HI></L>

<L>Proud with this Champion did the <HI>HOST</HI> defie,</L>
<L>(Conviction's greater far then Victory)</L>
<L>And having prov'd him to the wi&s;ht event,</L>
<L>Withdrew the <HI>Hero</HI> to his Heavenly <HI>Tent.</HI></L>

<L>Adieu great <HI>Chry&s;o&s;tome,</HI> our Danaan &s;howrs,</L>
<L>Shall ever water thy Sepulchrall flowr's,</L>
