Classic Poem

Well may you rest , expert who vertuously
In vertue, so excell'd in dignity,
Like a true Hero, who art fitted to
Live in Elizsum mongst the blest soules, who
In vertue here excelling, afterward
A comfortable rest did them award,
Making their worke to follow them who well

Exercis'd here on earth, did rare excell ,
Xenarchus like, who with much learning filled,
Chose too with vertue rare to be instilled
Excesters Peere, I finde that you excell ,
So acting vertue, that a rest full well
To you belongeth as your proper due;
Expecting which, you vertues path ensue.
Run on in vertues path, and still excell ,
Earth cannot, yet the Heavens will please you well.
