<HEAD>On the DEATH of His EXCELLENCE GENERAL DAL&YOGH;IEL OF BINNS, One of the Members of His MAJESTIES mo&s;t Honourable Privy Council.</HEAD>
<HEAD TYPE="sub">A Funeral Elegie.</HEAD>
<L>THou Child of Sin and Fate, who only can</L>
<L>Mea&s;ure the true Dimen&s;ions of a Man,</L>
<L>Who with impartial and triumphant Wings</L>
<L>O'retakes the poor mans Flight as well as Kings,</L>
<L>And with thy Martial All-controuling Drum,</L>
<L>Beats a cold March to the Eternal Home,</L>
<L>Tyrant o'r tyrants, who, with Fatal Force,</L>
<L>Betwixt the Soul and Body makes Divorce.</L>
<L>No more thy <HI>Trophies</HI> boa&s;t, thou here mu&s;t yield,</L>
<L>Here's on thou could not Conquer in the Field,</L>
<L>Who, &s;pite of all the Forces him with&s;tood,</L>
<L>Has div'd for Honour in a Sea of Blood.</L>
<L>Who, wher&s;oe're he Fought, or Seige did lay,</L>
<L>Honour and Conque&s;t did their wings di&s;play.</L>
<L>Who&s;e Heart by night nor day did ever feel</L>
<L>A cowards damps, oft &s;leept in &s;heets of &s;teel.</L>
<L>That Soul of Chivalrie, which no delight</L>
<L>Could weaken, or the face of Death affright,</L>
<L>The Great <HI>DAL&YOGH;IEL,</HI> who with undazled eyes,</L>
<L>Affronted all the Flames from Steel could ri&s;e.</L>
<L>Ju&s;t like the generous <HI>Eagle</HI> dare oppo&s;e.</L>
<L>The proude&s;t light that ever in Heaven aro&s;e.</L>
<L>His Actions all were Generous, and Free,</L>
<L>And did no Intere&s;t own, but Loyaltie,</L>
<L>He lov'd not Wars for Wars, nor Stri&s;e for Strife,</L>
<L>Not Prodigal, nor Nigard of his Life,</L>
<L>He did not loftly &s;pare him&s;elf, but then</L>
<L>He did exact the like of other men.</L>
<L>For of his Generous, and Martial Heart,</L>
<L>Courage and Judgement had their equal part,</L>
<L>He was the <HI>Genius</HI> of the Camp, yet knew,</L>
<L>When to Retire, and when his Foes pur&s;ue,</L>
<L>He knew all Order of tumultuous War,</L>
<L><HI>Ranks, Files, March, Counter-march,</HI> to make a <HI>Squar,</HI></L>
<L>And from a <HI>Squar,</HI> to rai&s;e a <HI>Diamond,</HI></L>
<L>And all Battalias ever yet were found.</L>
<L>How to Encamp, Entrench, and any part</L>
<L>Where Nature fails, to Fortifie by Art:</L>
<L>How to De&s;end, or to a&s;&s;ault a Town,</L>
<L>And Courtings, Bulwarks, Plat-forms to beat down.</L>
<L>He knew no treacherous Arts, nor cheating Charms,</L>
<L>But ma&s;culin Courage, and the Laws of Arms,</L>
<L>With the&s;e he made his Souldiers well train'd Men,</L>
<L>With the&s;e he brought them on, and off again.</L>
<L>It was by tho&s;e, he to his late&s;t Breath,</L>
<L>In every War, Conque&s;t Propound, or Death.</L>
<L>Like a Maje&s;tick General, by tho&s;e,</L>
<L>He &s;old his Souldiers Lives dear to their Foes.</L>
<L>By his Example every minor Band,</L>
<L>Did take new Force from his <HI>Heroick</HI> Hand;</L>
<L>Souldier in&s;pired Souldier; Foot, the Hor&s;e;</L>
<L>But he them both; <HI>&s;o great's a Generals Force.</HI></L>
<L>Who by his Valour, made it under&s;tood,</L>
<L><HI>An ounce of Honour's worth a pound of Blood,</HI></L>
<L>His never daunted Courage undervalu't</L>
<L>The iron &s;alutation of a Bullet.</L>
<L>Therefore &s;ome grovling cowards low-pitcht eye,</L>
<L>That could not reach triumphant honors Skie.</L>
<L>What their affrighted &s;en&s;e could not behold,</L>
<L>Without being dazled, yet to carp were bold.</L>
<L>But he at home, abroad, and in all parts,</L>
<L>His Blade imbrew'd in Rivers Sprung from Hearts.</L>
<L>Yet with &s;uch Moderation that he made</L>
<L>It clear; <HI>War was for Phy&s;ick not for Trade.</HI></L>
<L>In <HI>Ireland,</HI> and in <HI>Mu&s;co,</HI> and at Home,</L>
<L>Like <HI>Hercules</HI> he Mon&s;ters overcome.</L>
<L>In all which Interprizes we might &s;ee</L>
<L>His Coun&s;el, Courage, Genero&s;itie.</L>
<L>He knew when to be har&s;h, when to be mild,</L>
<L>And did e&s;teem each Souldier as his Child.</L>
<L>And train'd them &s;o, which Care was not in vain,</L>
<L>They as their Father Rever&eacute;nc'd him again,</L>
<L>And with the <HI>Prophet</HI> did him thus bewail,</L>
<L><HI>Hor&s;e-men and Chariots of our I&s;rael.</HI></L>
<L>But now being Enfranchi&s;ed, and at large</L>
<L>From all our Wars, Death &s;eals him a Di&s;charge.</L>
<L>He with the Souls above and <HI>Hierarchie,</HI></L>
<L>Has Valour turned into Exta&s;ie,</L>
<L>Where till the Earth and all its Trophies lie</L>
<L>A &s;cattered Heap, and Time it &s;elf &s;hall die.</L>
<L>He &s;hall live unallarm'd with the bla&s;t</L>
<L>Of any other Trumpet but the la&s;t.</L>
