On the Earl of Essex.
ESsex twice made unhappy by a Wife, Yet Marry'd worse unto the Peoples strife: He who by two Divorces did untie His Bond of Wedlock and of Loyalty: Who was by Easiness of Nature bred, To lead that Tumult which first Him misled; Yet had some glimm'ring Sparks of Virtue lent To see (though late) his Errour, and Repent: Essex lies here, like an inverted Flame, Hid in the Ruins of his House and Name; And as He, frailties sad Example, lies, Warns the Survivours in his Exequies. He shews what wretched bubbles Great Men are, Through their Ambition grown too Popular: For they Built up, from weak Opinion, stand On Bases false as Water, loose as Sand; Essex in differing Successes try'd The fury and the falshood of each Side; Now with applauses Deisy'd, and then Thrown down with spightfull infamy agen: Tells them, what Arts soever them support, Their Life is meerly Time and Fortunes sport,Page 5
