EPITAPH On the Death of the much Honoured S r. Rodger Hog . Of HARCARSE . Sometime a Senator of the College of Justice . AT the most silent Hour of Night , when Sleep With a fast Pressure o're Mans Sense doth creep , A Dull and Heavy Weight , methought , did ly Upon my Soul ; I wept , but knew not why , Till in my View , Ah me ! there soon appears A Company , all Sad , and all in Tears . I look'd : And as they past , each Man I thought , In broken Words , his Neighbour something taught : Just was I going to ask , when lo ! I see What Them Afflicted , and Affected me ; A Mourning Hearse did follow , and on it , To tell who lay within , these Lines in Writ . The Good , the Godly , Generous , and Kind , The best Companion , Father , Husband , Friend ; The stoutest Patron to mantain a Cause , The justest Judge to square it by the Laws ; Whom neither Force , nor Flatt'ry could incline To swerve from Equity's Eternal Line : Who in the Face of Tyranny could own , He would his Conscience keep , tho lose his Gown ; Who in his Privat and Retired State , As useful was , as formerly when Great , Because his square and firmly temper'd Soul Round whirling Fortune's Axis could not roll , Nor by the Force of Prejudice or Pride Be bent his Kindness to forgo or bide ; But still in equal Temper , still the same , Esteeming Good Men , and Esteem'd by them : A rare Example and Encouragement Of Virtue , with an aged Life all spent Without a Stain , still Flourishing and Green In Pious Acts , more to be Felt than Seen . When this I had with Intermissions Read , ( For Floods of Tears these Intermissions made ) I could not stay to search out for his Name , For well I knew that HARCARSE was the same . FINIS .

Edinburgh , Printed in the Year 1700.
