Epitaph on King WILLIAM,
1702.
William the Third lies here, th'Almighty's Friend,A Scourge to France, a Check t'Imperious Rome,
Who did our Rights and Liberties defend,
And rescu'd England from its threaten'd Doom;
Heav'n snatch'd him from us whom our Hearts caress'd,
And now he's King in Heaven among the Blest,
Grief stops my Pen; Reader pray weep the rest.
