An Elegie upon the Earle of ESSEX'S Funerall . ANd are these all the rites that must be done , Thrice Noble Essex , Englands Champion : Some men , some walls , some horses put in black , With the throng scrambling for sweet-meats and Sack , A gawdy Herald , and a velvet Herse , A tatt'red Anagram with grievous verse , And a sad Sermon to conclude withall , Shall this be stil'd great Essexs Funerall ? Niggardly Nation , be asham'd of th●ods , Lesse valour among Heathen made men Gods , Should such a Generall have dy'd in Rome , He must have had an Altar ▪ not a Tombe , And there instead of youthfull Elegies , Grave Senators had offer'd sacrifice To divine Devereux : ô for a vote ( Ye Lords and Commons ye are bound to doo 't ) A vote that who is seen to smile this year , A vote , that who so brings not in a tear , Shall be adjudg'd Malignant : It were wise T' erect an Office in the Peoples eyes For issuing forth a constant sum of tears ; There 's no way else to pay him his arrears . And when we have drein'd this Ages eyes quite dry , Let him be wept the next ▪ in History , Which if Posterity shall dare to doubt , Then Glosters whispering walls shall speak him out : And so his Funerall shall not be done , Till he return i' th' Resurrection .
