TO The Memory of my most deserving and peculiar Friend Mr Wil. Cartvvright.

Amidst their very Tears they'l smile to see
Me boldly venture at an Elegie
On Thee (sweet Friend) a Subject fit for none
But those that have drunk deep at Helicon:
For how should I thy high-built Fame rehearse
Who hardly can distinguish Prose from Verse?
'Tis a sad Truth —

Yet here I must come in; my Interest
Will claime as large a Sorrow as the Best:
For though my Grief wants Art and Words, yet I
Can Think aloud to thy dear Memory;
And may (while others Write) to after Times
Sing thy own lasting Praise in thy own Rimes.

Hen. Lavves.
