Another Dialogue of Fame between two Natural Opinions.
1 Opin.Fame to desire, is a most noble thought,
Wch Nature in the best of minds hath wrought.
2 Opin.
Alas when men do dye, all Motion's gone,
If Motion none, all thought of Fame is done.
66
What if the Motion of the Body dye?
The Motion of the Mind may live on high,
And in the airy Elements may lye,
There though we know it not, about may flye.
And thus by Nature may the Mind aspire
Its Fame to hear, its Pyramid desire,
Or grieve and mourn when she doth see and know
Her acts and Fame do to oblivon go.
