Beyond our loftiest flights, that is, like thee;

Or t' have had too much merit is not safe;

For such excesses find no epitaph.

At common graves, we have poetic eyes,

Can melt themselves in easy elegies;

Each quill can drop his tributary verse,

And pin it, with the hatchments, to the hearse:

But at thine, poem or inscription

10(Rich soul of wit and language!) we have none;

Indeed a silence does that tomb befit,
