The Holy Sister's Lamentation : AN ELEGY To the Pious Memory of Mr. Henry C — nish , A late Presbyterian Teacher in Bisiter in Oxfordshire , who died December the 18th , 1698. COrnish is Dead ! — And thus a Bis'ter Muse ( Who best can speak his Character ) doth chuse To pay a Mournful Tribute to his Herse , And raise a Monument to him in Verse . Ah Holy Soul ! Thy Glass at last is run , With Tears we saw Thee dwindle to thy Urn ; Thy Zeal was boyling for our Blessed Cause , Which made thy Spirit strive with Human Laws , And kept thee stanch from Worshiping at Church , Rather than leave thy Servants in the lurch ; Orders thou hadst from Bishop , and didst swear , To keep thy solemn Vows should be thy care ; But those thou soon didst find too strait for thee , Whose mind was always fix'd on Liberty . Which made thee Preach that Pergury's no Crime , When we can serve the Cause at any time : And tho' a Puling Saint thee Weaver call , Tom Weaver Poet Laureat , to Mr. Cornish Anno 1654. And Sneaking Hypocrite ; yet this ne'er shall Prevail with Saints thy Memory to hate , Or e'er thy Barn-Divinity out-date ; Tho' Dead , thou liv'st among us as before , Whilst all thy Doings stand upon our Score ; We seem to see thy The Ghost said often to appear in the Barn . Face , so pale and thin , Which checks our Hearts , which are too prone to Sin , Whilst Tr — ton's warming Spirit doth supply Thy wonted Place , with wondrous Energy ; Who pricks us to the Heart until we feel His hidden Man within , as strong as steel : What tho' the Sober , well-lung'd Rector of D in Bucks . Olive — He , Who bellow'd at thy late Solemnity , Did tell young Men , they must not hope to see The Age of such a Holy Man as thee ? Cornish , a Man of God! — Yet we will pray , Tr — ton the Plump , the Brisk , the Gay , May live thy Age — Long may thy Paths be trod By him , and all the Off-spring of John Dod .
AN EPITAPH . Under this Pew , Ligs the Head of a Crew ; May the Bells hither Chime , The rest in due time .
