CELEUSMA MILITARE.

BUt know stout hearts that Diadems and Crowns,
Will powre down from Heaven after your wounds;
And you shall find in Honours Lists a place,
Where Dastard Spirits dare not shew their Face.

About this time Died Major Willard Esq; who had continued one of our Senators many years, and Head of the Massachuset Bands. In 23 April 1676.
