Upon the Death of the truly Valiant and Magnanimous SR CHRISTOPH : MINNS WOUNDED AT SEA . TIME break thy Glass ! Why should we longer stay ! Beat a Dead March , our Captain leads the Way . He who so oft from the Batavian Brow Had snatch'd the conquer'd Palm away , see how He layes , — a piece of Earth ; unfit to weild The Warlike Weapon or to hug the Shield ! No sooner had the black-mouth'd Ord'nance With Hell-bred Flames , and big with Flemmish ( hot shot ) Spit forth its Venim'd blasts , enough to make The well compacted Universe to shake , But straight the Waves ( supposing thou wert dead ) Leapt up to catch the Airie Substance fled ; Th' expecting Ocean , waits to have thy Tomb An Everlasting Trophie , in her Womb ; That Jewels might invest thee , and thy Bones Be Metamorphiz'd into precious Stones ; Each drop of Blood should into Rubies turn , And serve to deck thy well enamel'd Urn. Whilst that the Sympathizing Dolphins stay Longing to bear their welcom'd Guest away . But least that Corps that did so Bravely Die. Should underneath the Waves forgotten lie , And find no other Funerals , no Grave But what was then bestow'd on every Slave , In pitty Gentler Fate to us has given Thy Body , and return'd thy Soul to Heaven . If there be any place above the rest Thy brave Herocik Soul shall be possest O● its Immortal Glories , and thy Name Still warbled forth by never dying Fame : There Warriers Garlands shall thy Temples Crown Free from the blasts of Fate , or Envies Frown ; Instead of Bloudy Scarrs thy batterd Face . Shall be inviron'd with a Nobler Grace . Nor canst thou Die , but art Transcendent grown And challengest the World as if thine own ; Who hast ( to do thy Native Country Good ) Been Prodigal of Fortune , Life and Blood . Methinks I see another Star appear Brighter then Mars and in a Nobler Sphear , Whose Warlike Influence shall make the Fire Of the undaunted Brittans mount up higher In future Ages , and the World shall know Starrs act upon the Bodies here below .
