[This Peice presents Grave Seneca, of Whom]

This Peice presents Grave Seneca, of Whom
Corduba boasts, nor lesse the Pride of Rome.
Whose Tragick Muse the Latian Scene did raise,
And Vy'd with the Greek Drama for the Bayes.
Buskind Philosophy and made the Stage
A Schoole of Virtue to the Vicious Age;
His Pen, as Counsels to Brave Ends inclind,
Romes Greatness These, Its Goodness This Defind.
