XXXIX. On Mr. Mynshull.

Mistake not this, 'tis not his Monument;
That worth is poor can in a Tomb be pent.
Imagine Man unfaln! constant to Truth:
Thereby you may collect what was his Youth.
Propose the Schools in practice, marry the Arts
To sweetnesse, till they prove a charm for hearts:
Erect a Centre, where the fervent Love
Of Lord and Labourer together move
39

And meet: till there be made by it agen
Atonement 'twixt the worlds frail gods and men.
Think that brave Name which scorns to have an end,
Th'unfound Idea of a perfect friend.
Let him live lov'd as Women, th'Spring or Health
By Fever'd men, or as by th'Usurer wealth.
And when he dyes, let all that Interest have
In goodnesse, pay sad Tribute to his grave.
When thou hast scann'd all this, thou then maist see
What 'tis these poor Materials would tell thee.
For 'tis the Trophy of those Breasts that grieve,
That Mynshull being all this, does not still live.
