*An Elegy upon Doctor Chad[d]erton, the first Master
of Emanuel College in Cambridge, being above
an hundred years old when he died.
(Occasioned by his long-deferred funeral.)
Pardon, dear Saint, that we so late
With lazy sighs bemoan thy fate,
And with an after-shower of verse
And tears, we thus bedew thy hearse.
Till now, alas! we did not weep,
Because we thought thou didst but sleep.
Thou liv'dst so long we did not know
