MEMENTO MORI

AN ELEGY On the Right Honourable William Earl of Pembrook Who deceased on the 29th , of August , 1683. WHat are the Glories that by Fame acrue What are the Praises that to Virtues due ? Which Mortals do enjoy , till 't pleases Death , To Damm the Channel , of enlivning Breath . Just as the winged Attoms fly with light , So they do fall when that approaches Night . So when grim Death our Vitals doth invade , We turn to Dust ; our former Deeds will fade . The Censure of the living is but hard , And Hero ' of their due of times debar'd Posterity doth seldom rightly Deem , And Envy alway lessens the Esteem , That we for Generous Spirits ought to have , When 't pleases Fate to lay them in the Grave . But what do I hear ? brave Pembrook's Dead , And from its Mansion , his great Soul is fled . Yet ' Spight of Death , his Name shall never Dye ▪ Whilst others sink his shall surmount the Skie , Ah! Cruel Death , what made thee thus Surprize Him who was Loyal , Noble , Just and Wise , Him who was Valiant , Liberal , and Good , Whose Bounty did extend to all the stood In need ; and those 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 He timely Succor 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Yet these his Vrtues , Envy sought to Raize . Stirr'd up Detraction , to defeat his Praise : Pernicious Brood that doth infect our Soyl , And hath engendred home-bred Strife , and Toyl . Who are continually with Vipers fed , To sting the Living , and devour the Dead . Yet spight of their Attempts , great Pembrook's Name Shall eternized be , by truer Fame . Great Souls they all partake of what s Sublime , And though some Actions tainted be with Slime Yet this doth not retard their course at last , They stem the Tide , o'recome the threatning blast ; Great Pembrook's Course isended , and now he , A Hero is , to all Eternity . His Memory will last , for from his Dust ; The Epithet will rise , of Wise and Just .
EPITAPH . Within this Vrn inclosed lies , Mortal remains of Just and Wise : His better part hath taken flight , And Hope abides , where 's no more Night , He who a Tear denyes , H●●● little pitty , h●●●●●d Eyes
