On Platina Prosperus Spiriteus
The Man whose Judgement Joynd with force of WittThe lives of Popes & lives of Heroes writt
Who sung true Pleasure showd ye Golden mean
And taught Wild Youth to shun ye Lovers pain
Who wrote all this—Who more than this designd
All fine impressions of Celestial mind
That Man that Platina so lately fled
419
Evn Death is here restraind ye stroke he gives
has killd the man ye Writer ever lives.
