The OLD MAN.
An Epitaph upon my Gr. Mr. T. S.
1658.
Here lies an aged Corps, which late
Incag'd a Soul; whom neither fate,
Nor Times, could change from its first State.
Incag'd a Soul; whom neither fate,
Nor Times, could change from its first State.
Opprest more with Age than cares:
Respected more for Silver hairs
Than Gold; for Wisdom more than Years.
Respected more for Silver hairs
Than Gold; for Wisdom more than Years.
Happy in every Child he had;
Happy in self, and only sad,
Being born in good days, but deceas'd in bad.
Happy in self, and only sad,
Being born in good days, but deceas'd in bad.
