ERE lies old Hobfon, death hath-broke his girt, And here, alas! hath laid him in the dirt Or else the ways being foul, twenty to one, p He's here fuck in a flough, and overthrown.co 'Twas fuch as fhifter, that if truth were known, Death was half glad when he had got him down;
For he had any time this ten years full,
Dodg'd with him, betwixt Cambridge and the Bull.
And furely death could never have prevail'd,
Had not his weekly courfe of carriage fail'd;font
But lately finding him fo long at home,
And thinking now his journey's end was come,
And that he had ta'ne up his latest inn,
In the kind office of a chamberlin, madi
Shew'd him his room where he must lodge that night, Pull'd off his boots, and took away the light.
If any ask for him, it shall be faid,
Hobfon has fupt, and's newly gone to bed.

ERE lieth one, who did most truly prove
That he could never die while he could move:
So hung his destiny, never to rot
While he might still jog on and keep his trot,
Made of sphere-metal, never to decay of Midway
Until his revolution was at stay.
Time numbers motion, yet (without a crime
'Gainst old truth) motion number'd out his time
And like an engine mov'd with wheel and weight,
His principles being ceaft, he ended strait.
Reft, that gives all men life, gave him his death, bu
And too much breathing put him out of breath; al
Nor were it contradiction to affirm,
Too long vacation haften'd on his term:
Meerly to drive the time away, he fickn'd,
Fainted, and died, nor would with ale be quickn'd;
Nay, quoth he, on his fwooning bed out-ftretch'd,
If I mayn't carry, fure I'll ne'er be fetch'd,
But vow, though the cross doctors all stood hearers,
For one carrier put down to make fix bearers.
Eafe was his chief disease, and to judge right,
He dy'd for heavinefs that his cart went light:
His leifure told him that his time was come,
And lack of load, made his life burdenfome,
That even to his last breath (there be that say't)
As he were preft to death, he cry'd more weight;!!
But had his doings lafted as they were,
He had been an immortal carrier.
Obedient to the moon he spent his date
In course reciprocal, and had his fate
Link'd to the mutual flowing of the feas,
Yet (ftrange to think) his wain was his increase:
His letters are deliver'd all and
Only remains this fuperfcription.

Horatius ex Pyrrhæ illecebris tanquam e naufragio enataverat, cujus amore irretitos, affirmat effe miferos.
UIS multa gracilis te puer in rofa
Perfufus liquidis urget odoribus,

Gui-flavam religas comam
Simplex munditiis? heu quoties fidem
Mutatifque deos flebis, et afpera
Nigris aequora ventis
Emirabitur infolens,
Qui nunc te fruitur credulus aurea:
Qui femper vacuam, femper amabilem
Sperat, nefcius aurae

Intentata nites, me tabula facer
Votiva paries indicat uvida
Sufpendiffe potenti
