Of Archbald the ninth Earle of Angus.
Angus by cruell death lies here,* 1.1
The good mans hope, the wickeds feare;
The praise and sorrow of the most
Religious, who as having lost
A father, mourn; worst men are knowne
To faine a woe i•…•… they have none:
Envie, accustomed to wrong
His guiltlesse life, imployes her tongue,
Now a loud Trumpet of his •…•…ame,
And weeps, if not for grief, for shame,
Enforc't to give her selfe the lie:
O! Power of Truth, O! victory,
By which more honour is obtain'd,
Then is in greatest triumphs gain▪d.
