Thou wert in thy mindes Empire, and how all

Who out-live thee, see but the Funerall

Of glory: and if yet some vertuous be,

They but weake apparitions are of thee.

So setled were thy thoughts, each action so

Discreetely ordered, that nor ebbe nor flow

Was ere perceiv'd in thee: each word mature

And every sceane of life from sinne so pure

That scarce in its whole history, we can

Finde vice enough, to say thou wert but man.
