The Apprentices Lamentation , TOGETHER , With a dolefull Elegie upon the manner of the Death of that Worthy , and Val●rous Knight Sr. RICHARD WJSEMAN .
The Apprentices Lamentation for the death of Sir RICHARD WISEMAN . THus died the Mirrour of the times ; whose Fate We dare not murmure at , to expostulate , And reason with the Deity , t , were sinne , Nor dare we wish the act undone againe , With browes contracted and with moistned eyes 'T is lawfull to lament his Obsequies . And not to praise his Worth were to detract Here an omission would be thought an Act Of base Ingratitude ; and yet who knowes T' expresse his reall worth in Verse or Prose , Rhethorique's too barren , and all words to few To shadow forth those Prayses that are due To his blest memory , since we cannot praise Enough his matchlesse Virtue ; we will raise Our meditations , let our thoughts aspire , And what we cannot praise enough ; admire : And least wee seeme t' envie thy blessed State , ( Blest to eternity ) by our too late Laments . We 'ele stop the floudgates of our eyes , And cease to weep for thy sad Obsequies . Stop our teares current , and forbeare to moane , And turne our griefe to imitation .
ELEGIES on the Death of Sr. RICHARD WISEMAN . AND shall the Fates thus uncontrould Rob us of that which we doe hold Most sacred , must pure Virtue bee The Subject of their crueltie . Will not their too impious hand Be swai'd by Wis●domes counterman'd ▪ Curst be the worthlesse man that threw The fatall stone , sure he well knew His Valour , that he durst not trie A Combat for the Victory , But had he knowne his Wisedome too He would not then have dar'd to doe , An Act so horrid unto one , Who came so neere Perfection . But t was thy Fate ( dece●sed Friend ) to be Th' untimely Subject of his cruelty ; What direfull Fate soever stops his breath , Yet see the Wiseman triumphs in his Death . P. W.
FINIS .
