Upon the death of the Lord Hastings.HEre—Stay, Tears, until these ObsequiesHave had their Rights perform'd. Here—here liesTh'Off-spring of the gods, Apollo's glory,The Muses Morning-star; the true StoryOf faign'd Adonis. Whatsoe'er is saidOf Angels bliss, within this Tomb is laid.Nature, if ever, as before of old,Thou shalt form Vertue, frame it of this Mold.Flow Tears, now flow amain, to wash this Tomb,And keep it fair until the day of Doom.PHIL. KINDAR.
