[Let 't not disraste my Lord, that I have heere]
Let 't not disraste my Lord, that I have heereAnnex'd th'Elegiack raptures of my Deare:
'Tis said that Polo the Tragedian
When hee on Stage to force some passion came,
Had his Sonnes ashes in an Urne enshrin'd
To worke more deepe impressions in his mind.
The Emblem's good: this Fun'rall pile of ours
Strucke passion in each line address'd to yours.
