Upon the Departure of Mr. Robert Rich, Nov. 16. 1679.

CAn real Christian Love be dead,
'Cause Rich, filled therewith, is buried?
No, no, it lives in Christ our Head,
From whence 'twill all the World o'respread.
He slipt away in such an Age,
When all the Babels are in rage;
And left us yet behind to see,
Most things in great perplexity.
But yet we hope the day draws near,
When healing Love will more appear.

J. L.
