Thy Lines are sharpe & flatt & grosse & fine
And carelesse curiously they doe intwine
Things holy and prophane, which comes (I thinke)
of Ashbies godlie, & vngodlie drinke
While like the moone thy planetarie witt
Does from the Bull, into the Lion flitt
And so from signe to signe, vntill thou meet
With Aquarie & Pisces at thy feet:

We never speed, where ere we goe;
There's something in't; nay nothing so.

Here two rich rauisht spirrits kisse & twyne;
Advanc'd, & weddLockt in each others Lyne.
Gooderes rare match with only him was blest,
Who haes out donne, & quite vndonne the rest.

WHO DIED DECEMBER THE 26TH, AGED 42 .

What ! though such various worth is seldom known,
No adulation rears this sacred stone,
No partial love this genuine picture draws,
No venal pencil prostitutes applause:
Justice and truth in artless colours paint
The Man, the Friend, the Preacher, and the Saint.

On pleasure bent, see how the pressing hordes
Flock to the play where Comedy is queen.
A shot! And Tragedy usurps the boards; ...
Lincoln alone, in an eternal scene.

At noon, the cruel blow fell on his heart.
By night the sleepless tear would sudden start
And make a hell of memory; he said:
" When the day glimmers they will find me dead. "
But, lo, a miracle! The sun uprose,
And gave him strength to meet whatever foes;
The morning magic swift around him drew
An amulet of ardor and of dew.

Well you Sincerity display,
A Virtue wond'rous rare!
Nor Value, tho' the World should say,
You're rude , so you're sincere .
To be sincere , then, give me leave,
And I will frankly own,
Since you but this one Virtue have,
'Twere better you had none .

Since Milo rallies sacred Writ,
To win the Title of a Wit ;
'Tis Pity but he should obtain it,
Who bravely pays his Soul to gain it.

On Judg Ask.

Who ist that Rides our Circuit? Ask
And you may quickly read his name
For 'tis in noe Disguise nor Mask
But As with K: spell heer the same
And to's Profession This relates
Whilst t'other His Nature denotates.

Candida perspicuo numerantur Lilia vitro

Glasses Transparent Lillies white disclose
Soe Cristall cannot hide the Blushing Rose
A woemans body 'neth a silk smocks seen
As Pibbles in a clear Stream numbred been.
