AN ELEGY , Upon that Incomparable Comedian , Mr. EDWARD ANGELL . Written by C. B. HAng the Stage all in black ; this sable night Hath brought a deluge , caus'd an Angels flight . Before Creation , Heav'n lost an Angel thence ; Our Stage's Angel hath made his Exit hence . His pregnant Actions of Transcendant Wit , Rung Peals of Mirth , in Gallery , Box , and Pit . He was the best of Mimiques , and took's Degree Master of Art , in every Comedy . To hear his Mimick voyce , which did dispense Divertisement to all Spectators sense . It fill'd 'em with amazement to behold , What actions sprung from his corporeal mold . His loss is felt at Court , where it does move The Great Ones there , like the true Soul of Love . The City too bewails : And now in lieu Of former Mirth , from them drop showers of Dew . He was the Poets Darling , not one but wears Clouds on his brow , his eyes flow seas of tears . The Actors all , at Fate 's so swift command , Are turn'd some Ghosts ; others like Statues stand . Who shall play Stephano now ? your Tempest 's gone , To raise new Storms i' th' hearts of every one . Farewell Dufoy ; That Comical revenge , That always pleasing Play , is now unhing'd . Adieu , dear Friskin : Unfort'nate Lovers weep , Your mirth is fled , and now i' th' Grave must sleep . No more to Epsom ; Physicians try your skills , Since Frible now has ta'n his leave o' th' Wells . His parts too numerous were for Elegy , And Scenes too Comical to be ex●●ess'd by me : Let best of Poets do 't , it shall suffice I on thy Grave this Epitaph Incize : EPITAPH . Here lies Ned Angel , who rul'd , as he thought fit , The English Stage of Comick , Mimick Wit. 211.
