Et jam vicesimum tertium annum inierat,
Pulcherrimo undequaque vitaB prospectu,
Quern mors immatura obstruxit.

832 THE POEMS
Ferales postulaa corpus, tarn afiabr^ factum,
Ludibrio habuere, et vivo incrust&runt sepulchro,
Anima* evasit libera, aetema, foelix,
Et morti insultans,
Mortalem sortem cum foenore accipiet
Nos interim, meri vespillones,
Parentes filio, extra ordinem, parentantes,
Subtus in gentiliti^ crypto reliquias composuimus,
Ipsi eandem ad Dei nutum subituri.
Natus est, Sec
Mortuus, &c
Beviviscet primo Resurrectionis.

EDMUNDI TROTTn EPITAPHIOTI.
CHARTimiMO FILIO) KDMUMDO TROTTIO, FOSUIMUS PATER ET
MATER, FRU8TRA 8UPER8TITE8.
Leoite, parentes, vanissime horainum ordo,
Figuli fllioruin, substructores hominum,
Fartores opum, longi speratores^
£t nostro, si fas, sapite infortunio.
Fuit Edmundus Trottius,
E quatuor masculse stirpis residuus,
Statur^ justa, formS, virili, specie eximi^,
Medio juventutis robore simul et flore,
Aspectu, incessu, sermone, juxtk amabilis ;
Et, si quid ultra cineri pretium addit,
Honest^, discipline domi imbutus ;
Peregre profectus
Generosis artibus aniraum,
Et exercitiis corpus, firmaverat.
Circa^am insulam, scopulos Sirenum,
Praeternavigavit ;
Et in hoc naufragio morum et soBCuli
• Solus perdiderat nihil, auxit plurimum ;

834 THE POEMS
Hinc erga Deum pietatt*,
Erga nod amore et obsequio,
Comitate erga omnes, et intra se modestia
Insignis ; et qunntaevis fortunae capax.
Deliciae aequaliuin, senum plausus,
Oculi parentum, nunc, ah ! lachrymas ;
In eo tandem peccavit qu6d mortalis.
£t fatali pustularum morbo aspersus,
Factus est
(Ut vene laudis invidiam ficto oonvitio levemos)
Proditor amicorum, parricida parentum,
Familise spongia :
Et, naturas invertens ordinem,
Nostri 8uique contemptor^
Mundi desertor, defecit ad Deum,
Uodecimo Augusti ; JE^rsd Christi 1667.
