ON THE DEATH OF MR. MATTHEW POOL . ANAGRAM MATTHEW POOL . O the LAMP Out ! OUR LAMP is out ! Needs must we mourners be ; Darkness is Natures Mourning Livery : When Sun sets , Lamp a while , prolongs the Day , And on that hasting light , Embargo's lays , This Lamp was sent , the Evening to clear , Of the declining World ; but now I fear , Its Courfeu rings ; its sure dead time of Night , When Death ( like Bell-Man ) crys , Put out your light . A Lamp indeed ; well may Men stile him so , He spent himself in giving Light to you , For whilst with restless Wit , the Criticks vast Conrracting ; he in lesser moulds doth cast , And yet illustrates ; making all confess , Divinity grows more , by being less : As light of Sun , contract'd in Burning-Glass , Doth hotter grow , and brighter than it was , Death takes advantage , at oppressed Nature , And proves at last , the great abbreviator . One Work he wholly finish'd , nor much less , A Second , when Death stopt the teeming Press . Ask not his Age then ( Reader , ) for 't is clear , This Learned Man dy'd in his Critick Year : Thus our bright Lamp expir'd , yet left behind , A Work whose Beams through Christendom hath shin'd . Each wise Expositor , a Star is nam'd , But here they are in Constellations fram'd . Clusters of light combin'd Heavens milky way's ; But a SYNOPSIS made , of lesser rays : Long live ! thou mighty Treasury , of Food Divine , Thou Mine of Wealth , thou Heavenly Magazine Of Light ! thou Universal Remedy Of Ghostly Maladys ; henceforth wee 'll thee Call Our CATHOLICON ; for whither sure , Should Sick Men go , but to the POOL for Cure .
