<HEAD>ON THE DEATH OF SIR DAVID FALCONER OF NEWTON, Lord Pre&s;ident of the Council and Se&s;&s;ion.</HEAD>
<L>NOt to di&s;parage other <HI>Hero's</HI> prai&s;e,</L>
<L>Who&s;e Temples have been wreath'd with <HI>Themis</HI> Bayes:</L>
<L>In this our Age we truly may averr,</L>
<L>None liv'd more lov'd, then worthy <HI>Falconer.</HI></L>
<L>The Barr declar'd him Learn'd and Eloquent,</L>
<L>The Bench a Grave Judicious Pre&s;ident.</L>
<L>His Parents, Children, and good Lady, prove</L>
<L>His great Obedience, Piety, and Love.</L>
<L>His Life (ah! &s;hort) was from his tender Youth;</L>
<L>All Diligence, Integrity, and Truth.</L>
<L>Nothing could him from equity withdraw.</L>
<L>Law's a dumb Judge, he was a &s;peaking Law,</L>
<L>And could no more from that ju&s;t Rule decline,</L>
<L>Than <HI>Sol</HI> can &s;tray from the Ecliptick Line.</L>
