MEMENTO MORI

AN ELEGY On the Death of the Right Honourable JOHN Earl of RADNOR , Viscount Bodmin , and Baron of TRVRO ; &c. who Expir'd , July the 17th . 1685. Moribus Antiquis Res stat Romana Viresque Enn apud Cicer , in lib. 6. de Rep. SO falls an Aged Oak , which long hath stood , The Joy and Glory of the Humbler Wood ; Till with much Toil and with much Worship Sate , It measures Earth in Service of the State , Either for Shipwrack or some Noble Fate . What a Carier of Honour hast thou run ? What Wreaths each Moment of thy Life hast wone ? Thy Life , which , tho' extended out in Length , Was yet hem'd with Compactedness and Strength ? No Month , no Day , no Hour , no Minute free From Thought and Labour cou'd we find in thee . Thy very Recreations were such , We thought them Bus'ness , or full worth as much . Yet still Devotion and Philosophy , Had their due Hours allotted 'em by thee : State-craft did ne'r barr-out Divinity . To this , th' Hibernian Province sets it's hand , Which * * Lord , Leiutenant of Ireland . Thou with so much Praise didst once Command There , the Illustrious Bards will thee rehearse , To After-ages in their Noble Verse ; Relate thee with each Grace and Virtue fraught , Serene thy Looks , Serene thy Life and Thought ; With what just Care thou didst the Timon hold , Neither too Superstitious , nor too Bold : And when they 've said all which they can say more , The'yll Curse their Language scandalously poor . This will the Laws Municipal attest , Who Thee their mighty Conquerour confest : That Ocean , which others Boundless find , Was Coasted all and Fathom'd by thy mind . No private Creek escap'd thy watchful Eye , But thou the in-most Shores didst all Espie , Where undiscover'd Golden-Worlds might lye . Even Senate-Precedents to thee did yield A Fruitful Prospect in a Barren Field . All this thou didst devoutly for the Crown : Thy Loyal Deeds intirely were thine own . No base allay of Interest spoiled the Coyn : The Royal Stamp grew in [ thine Heart ] the Mine . From * * Privy . Seal . that High Place thine House no Riches bore : Only thy self were wealthier than before , In Conscious Satisfaction good Store . Farewell , great man : And while our Councils stand , Their Sense Collected by Judicious hand , Summ'd up with Application , to attain The Sacred Judgment of the Sovereign ; Then will our God-like Princes think of * * President of the Council . Thee , Vigour , Advantage , and Humility , And Honour , thus , thy Everlasting Memory . FINIS .
