<HEAD>A FUNERALL ELEGIE On the unfortunate death of that worthy Major EDWARD GREY, Iuly 26. 1644.</HEAD>
<LG>
<HEAD>Anagram.</HEAD>
<L><HI>Regard I die.</HI></L>
<L>No longer J &s;hall foyle the Cavalry:</L>
<L>But be ye watchfull, &s;tout, <HI>regard, I die.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>SAd Prodigy I Can famous valiant <HI>Grey</HI></L>
<L>Thus &s;ilently &s;lide to his bed of Clay?</L>
<L>Returne our &s;orrows, &s;igh we forth a Ver&s;e,</L>
<L>May deck the Pomp, and mournings of his Her&s;e.</L>
<L>But 'twere detraction to &s;uppo&s;e a Teare,</L>
<L>A Sigh, or Blacks, which the &s;ad Mourners weare,</L>
<L>Our lo&s;&s;e could value: He that names but thee,</L>
<L>Mu&s;t bring an Eye, that can weepe Elegie:</L>
<L>Who in his face mu&s;t weare a Funerall,</L>
<L>Clouded with griefe for thy untimely fall.</L>
<L>What ill a&s;pected Planet then did lowre?</L>
<L>Which then tran&s;cendent in that fatall houre?</L>
<L>The &s;plendent Sunne could not looke on and &s;hine,</L>
<L>But's clouded, whiles thy glory did decline.</L>
<L>Hath irefull Mars his &s;pightfull influence bent</L>
<L>'Gain&s;t his owne &s;onne? He's &s;till malevolent.</L>
<L>Thy part t'ha&s;t acted well; but Tragedie</L>
<L>Ill prov'd, having a &s;ad Cata&s;trophe.</L>
<L>Thy &s;able Curtaine was too &s;oon o're&s;pread,</L>
<L>Even at thy noone to bring thee to thy bed.</L>
<L>Unlucky hand, and heart with fury fir'd,</L>
<L>Which pa&s;&s;age made whereby thy &s;oule expir'd.</L>
<L>Yet we applaud the wi&s;dome of thy fate,</L>
<L>Which knew to value thee at &s;uch a rate,</L>
<L>That for thy fall an Hecatombe it co&s;t,</L>
<L><NOTE PLACE="marg">Colonell <HI>Mynne</HI> &s;hine the &s;ame day.</NOTE> And <HI>Mynne</HI> was offered to appea&s;e thy gho&s;t.</L>
<L>Thou need&s;t no gilded Tombe, whereon t' engrave,</L>
<L>The name of worthy <HI>Grey,</HI> which thou &s;halt have,</L>
<L>So long as Glouc'&s;ter &s;hall that name retaine,</L>
<L>Be&s;ieged er&s;t by Brittaines <HI>Charlemaigne.</HI></L>
<L>Thy conqueting Arme made thy &s;tout foe to yeeld;</L>
<L>Thy Sword had wonne the Trophies in the field.</L>
<L>Thy Coate &s;peaks thy high birth, but thine own prai&s;e</L>
<L>Shall crowne thine Armes with never-fading Bayes.</L>
<L>See the Argent-Lyon which hath Rampant &s;tood,</L>
<L>Now Couchant lie in Field of Gules and Blood.</L>
<L>The Cre&s;cent Or, <HI>Greys</HI> &s;econd Hou&s;e doth marke,</L>
<L>Of famous ance&s;try the Hou&s;e of Werke:</L>
<L>But now decre&s;cent is, it's Or's or'e&s;pread</L>
<L>With Colour Sable, Or is turn'd to Lead.</L>
<L>Farewell heroicke &s;pirit, who art to be</L>
<L>Of publique &s;orrow the epitome;</L>
<L>All &s;igh forth grones, meethinkes the Coats of Blew</L>
<L>Are &s;trangely changed into a Sable hew.</L>
<L>But &s;orrow &s;tops me, and my griefe's undre&s;t,</L>
<L>And rude in language I'le &s;igh out the re&s;t.</L>
