RADNOR.
In health and strength unthinking of my fate,
Death like a thief knock’d at my Bolted gate,
I hasted down to know the reason why
That noise was made, Death Quickly did Reply,
For thee I Call, thy Soul is now Requir’d,
I trembling gaz’d and Instantly Expir’d.

Than was good Grame of truth and hardiment.
