In Memory of his Highness GEORGE Duke of ALBEMARLE . 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 strain'd Imagination finde Words of apt Sense to fit so great a Minde ? And Verses in low-seated Fancies bred , Like Streams , do ne'ro'rtop 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 so stand in awe , And stoop to what Heav'ns Majestie hath sent For humane preservation ( Government . ) This was Thy Work ( great Duke ) to save a State In Civil Broyls , prest down wit● Rebels weight . It s 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 descry'd , Receiv'd its mortal wound ( i' th' train ) and dy'd . 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 same : But thy Deserts ( besides thy Princes love ) We doubt not but have their Rewards above ; And have prepar'd a Diadem for Thee , Who weigh'd three Kingdoms sunk in Misery .
