An Elegy upon The Honourable Henry Cambell, sonne to the Earle of Arg.

Its false Arithmaticke to say thy breath

Expir'd to soone, or irreligious death

Prophan'd thy holy youth. For if thy yeares

Be number'd by thy vertues or our teares,

Thou didst the old Methusalem out-live.

Though Time, but twenty yeares account can give

Of thy abode on earth, yet every houre

Of thy brave youth by vertues wondrous powre
