Upon Pompe's death.
Dux Pharia quamvis jacis Inhumatus arena,
Non ideo fati est sævior ira tui, &c.
Non ideo fati est sævior ira tui, &c.
Though thou great Duke inhum'd dost lie
Vpon the Pharian shore,
Blame not the fates who thought thereby
To honor thee the more.
Vnworthy was the earth thy bones,
Which thou subdude by force;
Onely the Heavens, and they alone
Were worthy of thy Coarse.
