GReat Soul, whoever writes Thy Loss, should be As great in Thoughts, if not in Deeds as Thee, To tell Mankinde thy true deserts of Praise In purer Numbers then the common phrase. For how can straind Imagination finde Words of apt Sense to fit so great a Minde? And Verses in low-seated Fancies bred, Like Streams, do ner ortop the Fountains head. The common ways of Praise (ability Of heart and body) is too coarse for Thee, Since every common Hector of the Rout Acquires the Epithets of Strong and Stout; Endowments which our Maker did intend As Instruments to serve another End Then vulgar Praise, To give rough natures Law, And teach assuming mindes to stand in awe, And stoop to what Heavns Majestie hath sent For humane preservation (Go[v]ernment.) This was Thy Work (great Duke) to save a State In Civil Broyls, prest down wit[h] Rebels weight. Its Body by ill humours grown [?]o sick, It had forgot the name of Politique; Destitute both of Rule and Ruler too, Divided into Sects, of one minde few: And to help on its Ruine nearer hand, Each of those Sects sought the Supreme Command. Whatever ill Confusion might bring, Or horrid War, came sayling with spread wing: But being by Thy Watchful Soul descryd, Receivd its mortal wound (i th train) and dyd. Thy mighty Merit now the World may know, If they Peace as a Benefit allow. The Roman Senate have decreed to men Crowns, for redeeming of one Citizen. Preservers of their Country, Gods became, And got their Adoration by their fame: But thy Deserts (besides thy Princes love) We doubt not but have their Rewards above; And have prepard a Diadem for Thee, Who weighd three Kingdoms sunk in Misery.
