And, like the Phœnix in her spicy nest,

Embalm'd with thine own merit, upward fly,

Born in a cloud of perfume to the sky.

Whilst as in deathless urns, each noble mind

Treasures thy ashes which are left behind.

And if perhaps no Cassiopeian spark

Shine o'er thy hearse; the breath of our just praise

Shall to the firmament thy virtues raise;

Then fix, and kindle them into a star,
