AN EPITAPH ON MrFRANCIS WOLLEY, Of the Middle-Temple: slain by the Earle of CHESTERFIELDJanuary 17th 1659.
REst in thy Bed of Honour: till the Just,And thou shalt rise more bright from nobler Dust.Yet whil'st thou sleep'st, how proud is winged FameTo sound abroad the Honour of thy Name?Who rather did'st choose danger, or to dye,Then breathe one Day in Branded Infamye.Thy Cause so just, thy Innocent DefenceClaymes Glory as thy Due, and Recompence.Thy Vertues are thy Heraulds and will tell,In future Ages how Sweete Wolley fell.
FINIS.
