Spake he all languages? Knew he all laws?
The grounds and use of physic-but, because
'Twas mercenary, wav'd it? went to see
That happy place of Christ's nativity?
Did he return and preach him? preach him so,
As, since St. Paul, none ever did? they know-
Those happy souls that hear'd him know this truth.
Did he confirm thy ag'd, convert thy youth?
Did he these wonders? and is his dear loss
Mourn'd by so few ?-few for so great a cross.

But sure the silent are ambitious all
To be close mourners at his funeral.
If not; in common pity they forbear,
By repetitions, to renew our care:

Or knowing grief conceiv'd and hid, consumes
Man's life insensibly (as poison's fumes

Corrupt the brain), take silence for the way
T'enlarge the soul from these walls, mud and clay,

(Materials of this body) to remain

With him in heaven, where no promiscuous pain
Lessens those joys we have; for with him all
Are satisfy'd with joys essential.

Dwell on these joys, my thoughts!-Oh! do not call
Grief back, by thinking on his funeral.
Forget he lov'd me: Waste not my swift years
Which haste to David's seventy, fill'd with fears
And sorrows for his death: Forget his parts,
They find a living grave in good men's hearts:
And, for my first is daily paid for sin,
Forget to pay my second sigh for him:

But it appears from the preceding pages, that his intentions of visting

De Hy Laini were frustrated.

Forget his powerful preaching; and forget
I am his convert. Oh my fraily! let
My flesh be no more heard; it will obtrude
This lethargy: So should my gratitude,
My vows of gratitude should be so broke,
Which can no more be, than his virtues, spoke
By any but himself: For which cause I
Write no encomiums, but this elegy;

Which, as a free-will offering, I here give

Fame and the world; and, parting with it, grieve

I want abilities fit to set forth

A monument as matchless as his worth.
