Upon the Worshipful, and much deserving Gentleman, John Jeffreys of Abercunrick Esquire.

------ Nondum mutatus ab isto
Hectore, qui quondam.

Can silence fit the present stage, or dare
Our tongues be silent, where such merits are?
His actions are too great, too good to lie
Under a bushel in obscurity.
He was not Linsey-woolsey, or content
To be compos'd of King and Parliament:

98

He was most loyal, and could not dispence
With such base freedom to his conscience,
As to neglect his King: he hath a heart,
From whence transparent beams of Vertue dart:
After sad years of cruel storms and wind,
He shall a Haven, and a Heaven find.
