On the Death of Mr Cartvvright, and Resurrection of his Poems.

VVhy stand ye gazing thus? who will appear
Wit's Champion, think ye, in this Hemisphere?
Most Voices are for Cartwright, Cartwright, he
Is th' only Pillar of right Poetry:
For he can best Resist, yea Vanquish those
Who (for their Idoll) Ignorance have chose.
His Poems shew his Wit so sharp and clear
That no poor Scribblers should presume t' appear
At his great Shrine, but such as do intend
To mend their own, his Judgment to commend.
And though sowre Mars now most ascendent be,
Trumpets and Drumms the cry'd-up Harmony,
Yet we will hear our Cartwright; Cartwright shall
Antæus-like grow stronger by his Fall.
