<HEAD>PANEGYRICK Upon the Death of <HI>Lieut: Thomas Hadom.</HI></HEAD>
<HEAD TYPE="sub">Who Decea&s;ed <DATE>4th of <HI>April</HI> 1700,</DATE> in the 27th Year of his Age, having been Ten Years an Officer in King <HI>WILLIAM</HI>'s Service.</HEAD>
<LG>
<L>NO Youth nor Strength, nor Vigour of that kind,</L>
<L>Greatne&s;s of Soul, nor yet Heroick mind,</L>
<L>Undaunted Courage&punc; Magnanimitie,</L>
<L>Nor Gifts, nor Parts, of the mo&s;t high Degree,</L>
<L>Nor racked Skill, nor highe&s;t reach of Arts,</L>
<L>Tho all conjoyn'd, and all did act their parts;</L>
<L>No Medicines, tho proper and in &s;ea&s;on,</L>
<L>Apply'd by Art, and highe&s;t pitch of Rea&s;on:</L>
<L>Nor is there ought, in all the Earth that can</L>
<L>Pre&s;erve the Life of fadeing Mortal Man:</L>
<L>But in due time, by</L>
<L>Both Young and Ag'd, yea all Mankind mu&s;t die.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Here was a Youth for Genero&s;ity,</L>
<L>For Courage, Candor, Ingenuity,</L>
<L>And other parts, of Per&s;on, and of Mind,</L>
<L>That of his Years, few Equals left behind;</L>
<L>True Son of <HI>Mars&punc;</HI> a Credit to that Art,</L>
<L>Both ready, and expert in every part:</L>
<L>No danger could affright &s;o great a Mind,</L>
<L>Yet &s;till his Nature, affable and kind.</L>
<L>While in great dangers wonderfully &s;av'd,</L>
<L>When many Gallants were of Life bereav'd,</L>
<L>Yet fatal Death, by Heavens directing power,</L>
<L>Remov'd him hence, in his appointed Hour,</L>
<L>In peace (while Young) he was call'd off the Stage</L>
<L>When in the Spring time of his growing Age.</L>
<L>Confe&s;&s;ing Sin his newe&s;t breath did &s;pend,</L>
<L>Pleading for Mercy, Prai&s;ing in the End:</L>
<L>Altho that nothing falleth out by chance,</L>
<L>But by the cour&s;e of Divine Providence,</L>
<L>Yet innocents may be brought to their Graves,</L>
<L>By crafty Villans, undermining Knaves,</L>
<L>Who in due time, as Heaven &s;hall find ju&s;t Cau&s;e,</L>
<L>May chance to &s;uffer by the Divine Laws,</L>
<L>Altho that <HI>Jehu,</HI> Acted by command,</L>
<L>Yet <HI>Jezerel</HI>'s blood, was &s;ought at <HI>Jehu</HI>'s hand.</L>
