For K------n------tt call'd White, and Bu***t Gil. show,
That Doctors may change as Preferment may go
And Twenty Years hence for ought You and I know
Twil be Hoadly the high & Sacheverel the Low.
Who knows how each Author may alter his mind
As they or the Text other Comments may find.

Grey hairs the blossom of Old age appear
To show that Death the fruit of Time is near.
To show that Death the fruit of Time is near.
When thy fair Soul ascends her Native Skys
Lillys and Roses from thy Dust shal rise.
Lillys and Roses from thy Dust shal rise.
One commonly talks most when one has least to say.
And giving You both Yea and Nay
Talks most when he has least to say.
Talks most when he has least to say.
