AN ELEGY UPON THE MOST LAMENTED DEATH Of the RIGHT REVEREND D R. JOHN CAUDEN Late LORD BISHOP of WORCESTER ; Who Deceased on Friday , September 19 th . 1662. in Worcester . NOw Deaths Decrees seem'd to be out of date ; But mark the spleen of Vnregarded Fate ; No Learned Funerall had infam'd the Year , Nor was the State yet pensiv'd with a Tear , The throng of Coarses bid us only see And Transiently view Mortality ; But this most sorrowed Herse commands us Weep , And sumd-up Grief as His Memoriall keep , And in the swollen Confluents of our Eyes , Loves Universall Tribute to Comprize . Here shall the different Opinions meet , And their divided streams each other greet : Here shall the Murmuring Floods in Grief Conform , And their sad passions raise without a storm : While to the Ocean of his Fame they run , Not minding whence their Rivulets begun ; For in this Ceremony all Unite , And joyne Devotions in his Funerall Rite : Mixing their Sighs and Prayers in concent , And tax the Parcae not the Parliament . But let us parentate who know to mourn The Churches sorrow in this Prelates Urn. And is our Father , our Restorer dead ? Who 'l Peace begin , or mediate in his stead ? On whose blest Lips 3 Gasping Realms did wait : And from his Oracle did receive their Fate ; He hath resign'd the Life he onely breath'd The Vse to us was long before bequeath'd . He that the Perplext discords of our peace , With his Harmonious Unison did cease ; He that the Gangreen of the State did cure , Medicastri , a Sermon preached before the L General Monke and th● Lord Mayor , &c. First made it willing , able then t' endure ; Open'd the Splendour of the Dawning day , And like the Baptist first prepar'd the way : Him Orpheus , Galen , Prayers could not save , Nor free the Captive from the Conquering Grave : Time was Obliged ; 't was in vain to sue , Blest Restitution , thy First Fruits were Due . For th' heavenly powers when they held their hand And crost their Arms at Rebels bold command ; ( When the Defencelesse Sword had lost it's Edge , Against that scaly Monster Priviledge ; When its continuall Renascent strength , Gainst single Loyalty prevail'd at length ; ) Proud with this Champion did the HOST defie , ( Conviction's greater far then Victory ) And having prov'd him to the wisht event , Withdrew the Hero to his Heavenly Tent. Adieu great Chrysostome , our Danaan showrs , Shall ever water thy Sepulchrall flowr's , So Heaven PLANTS thee in a Diocesse , By thy TRANSLATION to eternall Blisse . JAMES HEATH .
