The Man whose Judgement Joynd with force of Witt The lives of Popes & lives of Heroes writt Who sung true Pleasure showd ye Golden mean And taught Wild Youth to shun ye Lovers pain Who wrote all this?Who more than this designd All fine impressions of Celestial mind That Man that Platina so lately fled From earth to silent Darkness is not dead Evn Death is here restraind ye stroke he gives has killd the man ye Writer ever lives.
