EPICEDIA OR FVNERAL VERSES Upon the much Lamented Death of that most Loyal Subject and Religious Gentleman Mr. HMPHREY COLLES of Cates-lade Who departed this Life Nov. 15 and was Solemnly inter'd Nov. 18. Anno Salutis 1661. Aetatis suae 77. DEATH is no wonder since t is unto all A Common Lot to Rich Poor great and small This cruel Serjeant At the Princes gate Knocks And the Plow-mans door at the same rate No sooner Lacheseis our thred of life Hath spun but Atropos with her keen knife Cuts it asunder All before the Floud Those long-liv'd Fathers Death at length withstood Adam Seth Enosh who liv'd here below So many years were subject to deaths blow Methusalah who liv'd the long'st of all The Patriarchs packt hence when she did call No wonder then since yield to fate we must This hearty chearful Cole's now turnd to dust No wonder then Death with her fiery flashes Hath burnt this lively coale quite unto ashes But is he dead Sure nay no good man dies But like the Day 's Sun only sets to rise The cloud of Death 's already over-blown To Heaven her Native Soyl his Soul is flown Where his Redeemer lives with him to Raign Millions of Angels waiting on the Train Sure worser thoughts of him we cannot have Who used all good means his soul to save Gods Ordinance and House he did frequent To hear the Word with chearfulnesse he went Heard Sermons with great reverence and then He by his practice prcach't them o're again His private good Devotions rather were Those to the eye then only to the ear His prayers took their vigour and their strength Not from their loudness nor yet from their length His inoffencive conscience was a thing Which troubled neither Church nor yet his King He was an honest Protestant at home In despight of Phanaticks and of Rome To his Religion his resolved mind Still did adhere near changed with the wind Peace which he loved in his-life did lend Her helping hand to bring him to his end When Age and Death both came to end all strife These gently did untwyne his thred of life Now let 's commit him to his Rest Sleep on Thou Loyal Subject till the night be gone Sleep on untill th' Eternal morrow dawn Then those Caelestial Courtains will be drawn Then shalt thou be partaker of that light Whose Glorious day shall never set in night Ita deslet obitum suum M.
