Speaks Thee the Best of Kings as Best of Men:

Be this Thy Epitaph; for This alone

Deserves to carry Thy Inscription.

And 'tis but modest Truth (so may I thrive

500As not to please the best of thine alive,

Or flatter my Dead Master, here would I

Pay my last duty in a glorious lie):

In that admired piece the World may read

Thy virtues and misfortunes storied;

Which bear such curious mixture, men must doubt
