AN ELEGY ON THE Death of the Worthily Honoured THE LORD CHARLES RICH . CAn one of Englands Cedars shrink away So privately , into a Bed of Clay , And be Eclipsed from the eye of Day ? HOw should this Jem be lost ? could we not crave A short Reprieve ? But now are forc'd to have Ten thousand Weeping eyes to watch his Grave : ALas ! the hand of Heaven has Cut his Twine , And lock'd him in a Tomb , whose Barrs confine More Glorious Riches than an Indian Mine . RAis'd with the Glorious Angels to their Quire , This High born Soul sings with th' Immortal Lyre , Warm'd by the Sacred Heat of Holy Fire . LOve's Triumph , Earth's fair Jem , and Flora's Bower , Beauties Array , Worlds Wonder , Natures Flower , Was Cropt , and Crowned in a happy hour . EArth , to thy trust we recommend the Prize Of this bright Oar , there needs no watchful eye , Love stand to Guard him while he Buried lyes . SParkling in Brightness , Scituated High , Clob'd in the highest Glory , there his Eye Is fill'd with Triumphs of Eternity . REst in thy quiet Urn , let no Weed dare Spring from thy hallowed Earth , but Flow'rs most fair Surround thy Closet with persumed Air . IOve , Pallas Juno , and the Muses , near This place will sit sometimes , to drop a Tear , While this sweet Captive is a Pris'ner here . COuld I but reach thy Virtues in their Prime , My Fancy would be quickly so Sublime , I 'de out-write Ovid in his highest Rhyme . HArmonious Soul , now all thine Anthems be High Halleluiahs , and 't is best that we Do sing our Maker's Praise in Imitating Thee . Written by Jeremiah Rich
