EPITAPH On the Death of the much Honoured S r. Rodger Hog Of HARCARSE Sometime a Senator of the College of Justice AT the most silent Hour of Night when Sleep With a fast Pressure o're Mans Sense doth creep A Dull and Heavy Weight methought did ly Upon my Soul I wept but knew not why Till in my View Ah me there soon appears A Company all Sad and all in Tears I look'd And as they past each Man I thought In broken Words his Neighbour something taught Just was I going to ask when lo I see What Them Afflicted and Affected me A Mourning Hearse did follow and on it To tell who lay within these Lines in Writ The Good the Godly Generous and Kind The best Companion Father Husband Friend The stoutest Patron to mantain a Cause The justest Judge to square it by the Laws Whom neither Force nor Flatt'ry could incline To swerve from Equity's Eternal Line Who in the Face of Tyranny could own He would his Conscience keep tho lose his Gown Who in his Privat and Retired State As useful was as formerly when Great Because his square and firmly temper'd Soul Round whirling Fortune's Axis could not roll Nor by the Force of Prejudice or Pride Be bent his Kindness to forgo or bide But still in equal Temper still the same Esteeming Good Men and Esteem'd by them A rare Example and Encouragement Of Virtue with an aged Life all spent Without a Stain still Flourishing and Green In Pious Acts more to be Felt than Seen When this I had with Intermissions Read For Floods of Tears these Intermissions made I could not stay to search out for his Name For well I knew that HARCARSE was the same FINIS Edinburgh Printed in the Year 1700.
