A PANEGYRICK ON THE LATE HONOURABLE Sir ROBERT PEAKE Knight , VICE-PRESIDENT and LEADER of the Honourable ARTILLERY COMPANY . THis Man of Courage and Heroick worth , And high in Knowledge , sound you Muses forth ; Sound ye with loudest voice his most Just Due's , Who of Himself was able to infuse Spirit into the Brain-pan of the Dullest To cast by Prose , and write in Verse , the fullest . We need not voice his Service in the Warrs , And brave Atchivements , when he earn'd the Spurs Of honour'd Knight hood , 't is enough to speak We sing the Praises of Renowned PEAKE : For should we trace his Virtues thorough all Their courses , from their first Original , One Sheet would never hold them ; for the Theam Would be so large , as to demand a Ream . His Care he shew'd at Basing-House was such That after Ages cannot Praise too much : And his true zeal to Our deceased KING , Doth an example unexampled bring . These were the Steps by which He first did rise , To be observed by all Virtuous eyes ; And by degrees of Fortune did begin To place him in the Sphere he late was in : As Leader and Vice-President to be O' th Company of the Artillerie Under the Mighty Duke of YORK , whose Grace Chose him his Second in so great a Place . Of all Applanded , and Belov'd of those Whose Fate it was to be his greatest Foes : The Tongue most fault'ring , and the Eye most dim , Did speak and find all Loyalty in Him . Nor of his Praises is 't the least , that He So careful was to keep such Vnitie Amongst his Armed Numbers , that no Noyse Was heard amongst them , to alarm their Joyes : Silence and Peace did shew that 't is not Jarrs , But Order makes men Conquerours in Warrs . But above all , and this alone was it Which in his Place spoke him so exquisit , His wise Conduct ; And then his all , not part Of Knowledge in the Military Art , Made all great Chiefs their worth in Him to see , And Mars himself in Noble PEAKE to be . These great perfections , and by all desir'd , Made him by all to be so much admir'd , That no detraction from th' impurer sort Shall ere controle or silence this report : But Fame shall make his Praises be enroll'd , Not in loose papers , but bright leaves of Gold . For Truth reports , that whatsoere is due To Prowess , Skill , or to stour Mars his Crew , Was sound in Him beyond all parallel ; And Fame doth know , his Knowledge did excell . All that the Arts could promise , or th' Alarms Of Drums and Trompets , and the Feats of Arms ; All that deep Knowledge , or Fel force could try , Are buried now ; and in his Grave do lye .
