in a Rapture That he had a Chancellor who was Master of more Law than all His Judges and was possessed of more Divinity than all his Bishops Nor was he less skilled in the Mysteries of Trade and Merchandise wherein he projected and accomplished several great things as well for the benefit of others and the good of the Publick as the enriching of himself But in nothing did he more excell than in the steddiness aad evenness of his Temper not valuing or exalting himself upon the account of Court Preferments or popular Applause For having been a considerable Agent in accomplishing His Majesties Restoration he assisted in Conducting Him back from his Banishment to the Possession of his Crown and Kingdom And as a Reward of his Loyalty was highly advanced in the Opinion and Dignified with the Favour of his Soveraign And his Temples deservedly Incircled with a flourishing Coronet by the Hand of Majesty By whom he was raised to the very Top and Pinacle of Honour placed in the Highest Seat of Justice and Enrich'd with a Power to distribute Judgment and Equity to the Nation Glories enough to have Dazl'd a Soul less steady than his and swell'd it with Pride and Arrogancy Whilst he ascended the several Steps to Honour and mounted to the Highest Seat of Dignity with a becoming Gravity and an admirable Composedness and Equality of Mind Nor did all that Sublimity and Grandure wherewith he was Inviron'd beget any kind of Haughtiness in him or make him Treat those with Scorn and Contempt that moved in a lower Sphere For you might have seen him when Shining in the very Meridion of his Glory and arrived at the Achme of Power and Authority with a wonderfull Humility and Condescention stop to Reserve the Complaint of the meanest Supplicant and with an unwearied Diligence patiently hearing the Cause of the Poorest and do them Justice and Relieve them when Oppressed as soon and with as much Pleasure as he would the Rich and the Honourable But that which is yet more Admirable and Astonishing He descended from the height of Glory with a perfect Unconcernedness and laid down the Ensigns of his Grandure with a smiling Countenance whereby he suffered an Eclipse of his Honour without any Diminution of his Brightness and the divesting him of his Ensigns deprived him not of one single Ray of his Lustre but with the Heart of an Ancient Roman he dismounted the Curul without the least Disturbance or Regret and discovered them and in his late Imprisonments and the Reproaches and Calumnies wherewith he hath been sufficiently Loaded a Noble Soul firmly fixed in his own Worth and shining like the Sun with a perpetual Equality of Light without suffering any manner of Decrease or Abatement of his Lustre and Brightness And thereby gave sufficient Demonstration that he was PAR SINE PARI Soon after the News of his Death owned at London this following ELEGY Was written by an Ingenious Person to Illustrate the Greatness of his Loss THE Busie Statesmen who by Toyls unblest Torment themselves to give their Country rest Those publick great First-Movers of the State Who almost turn the mighty Wheels of Fate Roul the vast Stone like Sysyphus in vain Whilst Deaths last Call ends a whole Ages Pain The Graves long Rubicon must All pass o'er Whence launching Caesars can return no more Farewel Great Shaftsbury Times Sythe can stretch Where malice sword and

shall not burn What did wise Solon or Lycurgus do Lycurgus Dy'd like thee an Exile too And whilst proud Belgia thy Bones Entombs And triumphs at the Glory it assumes Belgia who in thy Fate has now done more Than all her Trumps or Opdams could before Belgia has vanquisht more in thy one Grave Than all the Wounds her Thunder ever gave Sleep then thou Activ'st of Mankind Oh make Thy last low bed and Deaths long Requient take Thou who whilst living kept'st the World awake Oh may thy Funeral-Rites walk that large round Till to thy Western-shore thy Loss resound Till Carolina shall in Mourning stand With all the Cypress of a Widdow'd Land Let Fools and Knaves through their false Opticks find Thy Spots and be to all thy Brightness blind Let Envy all her monstrous Forms suggest And lodge the Raven in the Eagles Nest Let 'em rail on and vent their hurtless Gall Whilst Shaftsbury's Renown surmounts 'em all From his clear Fame the dissolv'd Clouds shall throw And leave the Earthly Vapours all below Yes Mighty Man lay thy great Reliques down Thou Idol of the Croud Friend of the Crown Shaftsbury in popular Arts and Hearts so learn'd As with his Weight the Scale of Nations turn'd Foe To him the Kingdoms Genius bended low The Thrones best Friend Romes formidablest If the best Gifts which the kind Stars dispense The highest Prodigies of Wit and Sense For Immortality Foundations lay No Greater Soul e're lodg'd in Walls of Clay Swiftly his restless Orb of Fire went round And Light and Warmth we from his Influence found His kindest Rays and temperate Heat The Protestants still favour'd Climates met There his best Aspect smil'd whilst Rome alone Felt all the Fury of his Torrid Zone This was the Cause did such great Foes engage With such keen Malice and such Mortal Rage For this so high the Roman Vengeance boyls With Fires more hot than their Old Smithfield Piles But Heaven's kind Call has all their Engines crost Heav'n that has lodg'd thee on that safer Coast Whence thou lookst down and seest thy mighty Hunters lost EPITAPH UNder this Stone does Sleeping lye All that was Earth of Shaftsbury But Funeral-Tears and weeping Eyes Infallibility denies Whilst his Wish'd Death 's enough to be The Subject of a Jubilee A more Sworn Foe to Roman Pride Not Hannibal himself e'er Di'd For which his Deathless Fame below His Soul above His Soul Ah no!
