EPIGRAM
Upon the death of the most hopeful,
Henry Lord Hastings,
Eldest son of the Right Honorable,
FERDINANDO Earl of Huntingdon,
Heir general of the high-born Prince,
GEORGE Duke of Clarence,
Brother to King Edward 4.
'TIs a Mistake; Lord Hastings did not die,But 'twas our Hopes, and his great Parents JoyThat did depart. Is he said to decease,That raigns in Glory now, and lives in Peace?Yet may we gently mourn, not that he's gone,But left us till the Resurrection.Our Joy ought to be more, since he doth getA Heavenly Crown, for an Earths Coronet.Then let us cease our Tears: for if we grieveToo much, too little surely we believe.
ROB. MILLWARD.
