ALl Loyal Souls, when you draw near
This Holy place, pray drop a Tear,
For Sacred Sancroft's Trunk lies hear.

That is the same it was at First,
From Earth it came and so it must,
Again Return, and be made Dust.

But for his Holy Pious Soul,
'Twas found Regester'd in Heavens Roul,
And there 'tis gone without Controul.

In spite of all Hells Crew, Accurst,
He now does Tryumph with the Just,
For being Faithful to his Trust.
