On Sir Robert Cotton the Antiquary.

Posterity hath many fates bemoan'd,
But Ages long since past for thee have groan'd,
Times Trophies thou didst rescue from the grave,
Who in thy death a second burial have.
Cotton, deaths conquest now compleat I see,
Who ne're had vanquisht all things but in thee.
