On the Death of the Illustrious GEORGE Duke of ALBEMARLE . SO stoops our great Alcides , MONCK , whose brow Would ne'r learn what Submission meant till now : Whose wisest Conduct , and whose watchful Care , Still spake him Great in th' bold Intrigues of War : Whose mighty Prowests Trophies could afford For Victories still breathing from his Sword : Whose fiercer Arm bred Terrour where it fought , And every Limb he wore was Castriot . Thrice greater yet , since GEORGE could overcome , And fix a Peace from Civil Wars at home ; A nobler way , and less expensive too , Then ere wise Homer made his Heroes do : First Britains greatest Tyranny withstood , Then taught the way to Conquest without Bloud ; Reviv'd a dying Scepter , sav'd a Crown , Call'd back Great CHARLES , and fixt him in his own . And when Heavens Agent's strangest work was done , ( By that Almighty Providence begun ) Sate down and kiss'd Reward with humble sense , Showr'd on his head with Royal Influence ; Where his wise Counsel shew'd , his Head could fare As well in Peace , as once his Arms in War . At last , ( with Worth still fraught ) took leave , and so , Dy'd Gracious with his King and Country too ; Where now he 's grown Immortal , and with us Greater , then ere St. George of Cappadoce . Athens could never boast of things like these . Though she too had her Great Themistocles . Rome's Founder was with's Brothers bloud asperst , Which made their Godds give out he was accurst , Though the blinde common people now thought most Their King was Godd , when Romulus was lost . Their Good Camillus's Triumph was too high , And Coriolanus dy'd unhandsomely . 't was onely GEORGE all Wonder could put on , 't was onely GEORGE could grasp Perfection . Ungrateful then , if we no Tears allow To him that gave us Peace and Freedom too : Let all with Sable Colours in our Isle Fall down , and spend a sigh at 's Funeral-pile . May his Great Story last , may GEORGE's Name Live long , and flourish by the mouth of Fame . M. D.
