POEMS
Of an Elegy made by Mrs. Wharton on the Earl of Rochester.
Thus mourn the Muses; on the Herse,Not strowing Tears, but lasting Verse:Which so preserve the Hero's Name;They make him live again in Fame.Chloris in Lines so like his own,Gives him so just and high Renown:That she th' afflicted World relieves;And shews, that still in her he lives.Her Wit as graceful, great and good;Ally'd in Genious, as in Blood.His loss supply'd, now all our fearsAre, that the Nymph should melt in Tears.Then fairest Chloris, comfort take,For his, your own, and our sake[errata 1];
