<L>A ruthful Ge&s;ture, and a Mounrnful look;</L>

<L>His Heav'nly face: and therefore now with me,</L>
<L>And with this Troop of Mourners, bear a part,</L>
<L>To weep and Mourn with an unfeigned Heart.</L>
<L>Let's weep whole Flood's of Tears, that may &s;urround</L>
<L>His Tomb; and keep th' impure from holy Ground:</L>
<L>Then Metamorpho&s;e them to Chry&s;tal pure,</L>
<L>And grave his Fame for ever to indure.</L>
<L>And you his Hearers weep, Oh! weep full fa&s;t;</L>
<L>Now u&s;e your Tears, this day may be your la&s;t.</L>
