To Love and Grief the fatal writ was 'signed;
(Those nobler weaknesses of human kind,
From which those powers that issued the decree,
Although immortal, found they were not free),
That they, to whom his breast still open lies,
In gentle passions should his death disguise:
And leave succeeding ages cause to mourn,
As long as Grief shall weep, or Love shall burn.
(The Death Of Cromwell)

Wet themselves and spoil their Sent.

While thine unsuspected years
Clear thine aged Fathers brow
From cold Jealousie and Fears.
