Does mankind now admire his virtues more
Though Lucan, Horace, Virgil wrote before
How will posterity this truth explain?
"Cato begins to live in Anna's reign."
The world's great chiefs, in council or in arms,
Rise in your lines with more exalted charms;
Illuftrious deeds in distant nations wrought,
And virtues by departed heroes taught,
Raife in your foul a pure immortal flame,
Adorn your life, and confecrate your fame;
To your renown all ages you fubdue,
And Cæfar fought, and Cato bled for you.
All Soul's Coll. Oxon.

EPITAPH

AT WELWYN, HERTFORDSHIRE.

IF fond of what is rare, attend!
Here lies an honest man,
Of perfect piety,
Of lamb-like patience,
My friend, James Barker;
To whom I pay this mean memorial,
For what deferves the greatest.
An example

Which fhone through all the clouds of fortune,
Induftrious in low estate,

The leffon and reproach of thofe above him.
To lay this little stone
