IN OBITUM Thomae Hodges ARMIGERI.

LAurus Apollinoi nemoris ditissima proles exulet, & crinem taxus opaca premat. Et mea faerales humectent carmina guttae, carmina lugubri, commemoranda sono. Nuper enim tristi noctis squalore sepultus eximiae cecidit maximus urbis honos. Scilicet egregius generosi nobilis haeres, quem tenuit verae Religionis amor. Nullus amicorum lateri constantior haesit, civibus aut passim clarior alter erit. Non auri coluit radios, nec pauper ut esset sponte, tenebroso carcere clausit opes. Sed bene divitiis quaesitis noverit uti; sanctorum ut merit as possit habere preces.

Transegit placidam chastâ cum Conjuge vitam Exemplo natos, consitiìsque regens. Huc tamen, (O nigri rigor insatiabilis orci). fatales ictos mors inopina dedit. Ecce hic marmorea sopitum dormit in urnâ corpus, at aethere as mens petit alta domus. Illio terrestris discusso pondere limi exultat, pseno necteris amne lavans. O utinam digno celebrarem funus honore, & tacito cineri debita jura darem. Non cuperem violas mollisve rosaria pesti, nempe haec vix tumulo congrua dona forent. Non caret unguentis nec picti floribus horti, quem sequitur famae nobilioris odor.
