MIRA LOQUOR SOL OCCUBUIT NOX NULLA SECUTA EST.
By that Eclipse which darkned our Appollo,Our sunne did sett, and yett noe night did follow;
For his successor's vertues shone soe bright,
As they continued still, there former ligbt;
And gaue the world a farther expectation
To adde a greater splendor to our Nation.
