Who truth from specious falsehood can divide,

Has all the gownsmen's skill without their pride;

Thus crowned with worth, from heights of honour won,

Sees all his glories copied in his son,[396]

Whose forward fame should every muse engage,

Whose youth boasts skill denied to others' age.

Men, manners, language, books of noblest kind,

Already are the conquest of his mind;

Whose loyalty, before its date, was prime,

Nor waited the dull course of rolling time;
