T. AN ELEGY IS VERNON also gone what after Glass Call for the mourning women say alas Who ever can this loss and breach repair For Souls and Bodies who like him shall care To both as LVKE he was belov'd Physitian And made for sin his closest Inquisition He cloth'd the naked and the poor he fed This man of bowels death hath captive led In Worship he abhor'd humane invention And so was thought a man of great contention In Church and State against Apostates all Both Beast and Whore he had a holy Gall. For which he was depriv'd vext and opprest But now is slipt aside hid and at rest And though Eliah like he had some passion He did excel in bowels of compassion For he to build an house his stock did spend Not for himself but Sion to befriend Breach upon breach Ah what is Gods intent To smite our Shepherds thus What sin is meant What duty or what lesson is expected Let by a double spirit be effected His empty place and Family supply His Friends support and fit us all to die Per J. M. A SOLILOQUIE Psalm 77.6 I call to remembrance my Song in the Night I commune with my own Heart and my Spirit made diligent search WHat ails thee my poor grieved mind That thou liest lingering thus behind As listless to attend the Hearse Of thy choice Friend with mournful verse Others dexterity should be An argument to quicken thee Nay importunities should move Besides thine own constraints of love Shake off dull melancholy then Handle the readie VVriters Pen. Alas nor heart nor hand is strong To utter a becoming Song 'T is irk some work my friends may think While gall and vinegar I drink While evidently all may see God writes those bitter things to me Puts me to silence with disgrace Shuts out my cry spits in my face It seems improper such a time To speak heart-breaking thoughts in Rhime 'T is true if any should advise Thy putting forth in wonted guise To deck the Tombs or spread the praise Of men debauched all their dayes In Righteousness thou should'st decline The offering any help of thine But here is nothing else design'd Then bring to light and keep in mind The Grace that did a Worm engage To be Gods Witness in his Age. In a great strait indeed am I 'T is hard to grant hard to deny My willing mind would shew regard My sinful heart and hand retard I would attempt but then I fear I Grace shall rather cloud then clear However I can do no less Then shew what thoughts my mind impress Set forth his worth to Friends and Foes Exhort this Age and therewith close JOHN VERNON Anag In Nue Honor.
