Upon sudden news of the much lamented death of Judge Trevers.
Learning
and Law your Day is done,
And your work too; you may be gone!
Trever, that lov'd you, hence is fled:
And Right, which long lay Sick is dead.
Trever! whose rare and envied part
Was both a wise and winning heart,
Whose sweet civilitys could move
Tartars and Goths to noblest love.
And your work too; you may be gone!
Trever, that lov'd you, hence is fled:
And Right, which long lay Sick is dead.
Trever! whose rare and envied part
Was both a wise and winning heart,
Whose sweet civilitys could move
Tartars and Goths to noblest love.
Bold Vice and blindness now dare act,
And (like the gray groat,) pass, though crack't;
While those sage lips lye dumb and cold,
VVhose words are well-weigh'd and tried gold.
O how much to descreet desires
Differs pure Light from foolish fires!
But nasty Dregs out last the Wine,
And after Sun-set Gloworms shine.
And (like the gray groat,) pass, though crack't;

VVhose words are well-weigh'd and tried gold.
O how much to descreet desires
Differs pure Light from foolish fires!
But nasty Dregs out last the Wine,
And after Sun-set Gloworms shine.
