Another upon the same subject.
INto a Broakers shop once being call'd,
I found a Knight o'th' Garter there install'd:
But when the sad relation I had hear'd,
I then concluded 'twas a Knight interr'd.
The Brokers Bulk I thought the Altar stone,
Because his Robes and Order lay thereon,
The Shop a Temple I conceiv'd to be,
The Broker some poor Priest appear'd to me.
It griev'd me much, that so a Knight should ly
Without an Epitaph or Elogie,
I call'd for Pen, and without fear or wit
Unto his Memory these lines I writ.
