A sad and deplorable loving Elegy consecrated to the living memory of his best assured friend , the generally beloved , M. Richard Wyan deceased , late his Majesties Proctor for the high Court of the Admiralty . Who departed this life at his house at Bryl in Buckinhamshire , on thursday the 16. of August last . 1638. IT may be good to live , but well to live Is such a Good , as few men can Achieve : The more we live , the more we do offend , The way to Heav'n's a good and speedy end : Th' Almighty Landlord ( who doth all things sway , Doth let mans Soule a Tenement of clay , And Man is no Free-holder , but is still A Tenant only at the Landlords will . They are but Leases , till our Lives expire , And thankes is all the Rent God doth require . And such a one was He , of whom I write , Who liv'd as ever in His makers sight : Who day and night did humbly pay his rent Of thankes and praise for his fraile Tenement . Not only words , but reall deedes declar'd His love , His zeale , obedience and regard He ow'd to God and Man , to each degree His Heart , his Hand , his pen and purse were free . The poore mans Patron in distressed state , The rich mans patterne , how to imitate . Religion was His Pilot , and did steere His course of life , and all his actions here . With courage daily he did Death defie , His heart was fix'd on immortality ; And one good precept , never he forgot , To use the World , as if hee us'd it not . Wherefore th' Almighty ( in His gracious Doome , ) Hath pluck'd him hence , from ills that are to come . The poore have greatest losse , they weeping know , He would not say God helpe , but help'd their woe . The State hath lost a Servant of great Trust , His friends have lost a friend assured , just . His vertuous wife and children , great and small , Brother and sisters , Kin , in generall Have all receiv'd a losse , so great that we Can never hope that it repair'd shal be . But I have lost a friend , beyond a brother , For I nere had , nor shall have such another . But here 's our comfort , though grim Death assail'd him , His Faith , his trust , and confidence nere fail'd him : And though we all have lost him , God hath found him , And with eternall happinesse hath crown'd him . Iohn Taylor .
