An Epitaph, Vpon the most Hopefull and All-vertuous Henry Prince of Wales.
Stay
Traveller and read, didst never heare,
In all thy journeys any news or tales
Of him whom our divided world esteem'd so deare,
And named Henry, the brave Prince of Wales.
In all thy journeys any news or tales
Of him whom our divided world esteem'd so deare,
And named Henry, the brave Prince of Wales.
Look here, within this little place he lies,
Ev'n he that was the Vniversall Hope:
And almost made this Ile Idolatrize,
See, hee's contented with a little scope.
Ev'n he that was the Vniversall Hope:
And almost made this Ile Idolatrize,
See, hee's contented with a little scope.
And as the
Dane that on Southamptons strand
His Courtiers idle flatteries did chide,
(Who term'd him both the God of sea and land,)
By shewing he could not command the Tide;
His Courtiers idle flatteries did chide,
(Who term'd him both the God of sea and land,)
By shewing he could not command the Tide;
So this, to mock vain Hopes in him began,
Di'd and here lies, to shew he was a man.
Di'd and here lies, to shew he was a man.
