An Epitaph in an Acrostick, on the Name of his worthy Friend Thomas Milward Gent. whose face (by general conception) was very like the late King.
Though men from Law, Love, Loyalty, do fall,
Here lies a Cabinet contain'd them all;
One in whose unconfined soul did dwell
More worth then I can write, or thou canst tell:
A man of merits, he that further dives,
Shall find he had all in superlatives.

Much of that mans dear feature he had on,
In whose late loss so many are undone;
Loyal in love he was, though strangely crost,
With some who had just cause to prize him most;
A man more full of faith unto his friends
Remains not upon earth, without self-ends:
Died, and lived well, of whom my Muse thus sing
He was a Copy of the best of Kings.
