Classic Poem

For Gloucester 's Death, which sadly we deplore,
Though Fate's accused, we should commend it more;
Left he with Burnet 's Faith should be imbrued,
Or learn of C — — Truth or Gratitude:
Left two such Masters should their Rules instil,
And his young Soul with poisonous Precepts fill.
Untimely Fate Heaven timely did employ,
And to preserve the Man, destroy'd the Boy.
