BY MATTHEW PRIOR.


As doctor give sphysic by way Of prevention,
Matt, alive and in health, Of his tombstone
took care;
For delays arc unsafe, and his pous intention
May Eaply be never fulfilled by his heir
Then. take Mats word for it, the sculptor is
paid;
That the figure is fine, pray believe your own
eve:
Yc5 credit but lightly what more may be said,
For we fattcr ourselves, ana teach marble to
lie
Yet counting az far as 10 fifty his years,
His virtues and vices are as other mems are;
High hopes he conceived, and he snothered
his fears,
In life parti-colorod, half pleasure, half care.
Nor to business a drudge, nor to faction d slave
he stroye to make interest and freedom agree;
in publ. cmpIoyments, industrious and grave,
Ana alone with his friends, Lord! how many
was be!
Now in cquipage stately, now humbly on foot,
Both fortunes lie tried, but to neither would
trust;
And Whirled in the round as the wheel turned
about,
lie found rt.hes had wings and knew man was
but dust.
This verse, little polished, though mighty
sincere,
Sets neither his titles nor merits to view;
u says that his relics collected lie here,
And no mortal yet knows, too, if this may be
true.
Fierce robbers there are that tnfest the highway,
50 Matt may be killed and his bones never
found;
False witness at court and fierce tempasts at
sea
So Matt may yet chance to be hanged or be
drowned.
If his bones lie in earth, roll in sea, fly in air,
TO fate Iaus5 yiell, and the thing is the
same;
And # passing thou giv'st him smile or a tear,
He cares not-yet, prithee, be kind to his
fame.
