A CROSTICKE . FAR more DivINe , AND cleer , is nOw , LORD FAIREFAX gone , Above ; to praise JEHOVAH , at his Royall Throne ; Remote from Earth : He swift to Heaven ascended ( high ) Dect in a wreath of Tryumph , ( peircing through the skie . ) Into Celestiall glory ( upon Angels wings ) Now Halelujahs to the Lord of Hosts he sings . Adieu , brave Honour , England with brinish teares may say , Night clad in sable blacke , mournes for the losse of day . Death hath be friended Heaven with the Fathers soul , On whose meeke Son ; let Angells miriads of blessings roule . Light ( shining downe from Heaven ) the darkest cloud expells , On Earth ; when Sun with glittering most bright excells : Riseth in splendor , ascends with smiles : But sets in dismall turning , Death thus hath vail'd our light , and left us all in mourning . Fairefax ; valiant , and true : For Englands peace he stood , And to his wife , kindred , neighbours , was wise and good , Iust unto all ; And mercifull ; As orbs of Stars . Reliefe shin'd comfort , from his sparkled hands . And bars Effectuall , for truths defence he did erect : False hypocrites unmaske , and wickednesse detect . And now his soul 's in glory ( though Xenius mount above ) Xanthius his Son is here ; The Generall of love .
The Etymologie of his name from the Hebr●w .

חקפ ארפ אד ןינ יד דרפ

Faradh-dhi-nin da Fere-Fakahh .

The Hebrew of the Lord Fairfaxes name , translated into English .

He hath separated a sufficient Sonne , that wounded the wild Asse .

An ELOGIE . Renowned Fairfax , whom the State did love Is now ASSENDED to His GOD above , Hee liv'd and dy'd in Honour , full of years : His death sets sluces ope , to powre out tears . When wicked men began to rise , The godly Party to surprize , And make them slaves To many Knaves , To spoyle our Goods And spill OUR Bloods ; He parted with his Son most dear Who of their holes did them all clear , The Father's dead , and gone to rest above , The Son hath wrought our peace , if wee had Love . By God Almighties power , then let us all , Give him the Glory , and Love , reciprocall .
By H. Walker , S. S. Theol.
