89. An Epitaph on my worthy Cousin German Colonel Michael Stanhope slain at Willoughbie-Fight, and lyes buried in the Church there.

Here Michael Stanhope lies, who fought, and dy'd,
When prosp'rous fortune left the Regal side:
He of a dauntless minde by all was known,
And of a Noble disposition:
Yet his conditions, and his valiant Heart
Could not prevail with Death to stay his Dart;
For here he lies, and doth (by's Fall) express,
Great Courages do often want Success.
