80. An Epitaph on my Father Mr. Tho. Cokain, who deceased in London, about the [OMITTED] of his age, and lyes buryed in St. Giles's Church in the Fields.
Stay Passenger, and read under this stone,Here Thomas Cokain lyes, Sir Edwards son.
Mapleton gave him birth; but far from home
At London he deceas'd, and this his Tombe
Too mean a Monument for his great worth;
But virtue never findes reward on earth.
He was his families Heir; but (transitory
Knowing all terrene wealth) chang'd his for glory,
And here his body soft repose doth take
Till him the Angels Trumpets shall awake.
