UNsluce your Tears for Shame: what can you keep Your Eyes within their Sockets, and not Weep? Have we a Jewel lost, more worth by far Than Affrica and both the Indies are? And can you stop the Currant of your Tears, And not Beflood yourselves o're Head and Ears? O Fie! fall down before his holy Shrine, And Weep as fast as ever it did Raine, Stamp, and with Tears inundate all your Cheeks, And split his very Marble-stone with Streeks; For we have lost that lovely Silver Dove, Which was a Pledge of God Almighty's Love: 'Tis Flown away; and left its Corporal Arke, (Until the Resurrecton) in the Dark: Our splended Sun is Set, and gone away, And ne'er will Rise again till Judgment Day: The Meekest, Sweetest, and the Best of Kings, Is mounted on a pair of Angels Wings; And by a Summon sent from God) is gone To set upon the Everlasting Throne: O! that I might (if it but Lawful were) Whisper with Reverence at his Sacred Eare, And ask if he in earnest had his Breath Stop'd by the Handkerchief of Sawcy Death; I can't believe it was; sure 'tis a Lye. The Elect shall only Changed be, not Die: And he I'm confident was one of those Who being almost free from Sin was Chose: And so he did not Die as some Report, But went a Live to the Coelestial Court; There to recieve (stead of a fading Crown) One that I'm sure will never Tumble Down. Therefore (when we perpend his Happiness, If we do Mourn) we ought to Mourn the less: For (tho fond Nature bids us Weep a while, When we consider that) we ought to Smile. Truly (to Mourn no more) I hold it Best; Come draw his Curtains close, and let him Rest: Tho he is gone, yet he has left in's stead The Bravest Prince that ever wore a Head: Long may he Live to wear the Crown and Flourish, Till all his Enemies Fret, Pine and Perish.
