Great Villiers lies:—alas! how changed from him,

That life of pleasure and that soul of whim!

Gallant and gay, in Claverdon's proud alcove,

The bower of wanton Shrewsbury and love,

Or, just as gay, at council in a ring

Of mimic'd statesmen and their merry King.

No wit to flatter left of all his store,

No fool to laugh at, which he valued more,

Then victor of his health, of fortune, friends,

And fame, this lord of useless thousands ends.'
