“ Stones, Stocks and every Senceless thing
To Oates shall dance, to Oates shall sing
Whilst Woods amazd to the Ecchos ring.
And as (that Hero's names may not
When they are rotten be forgott)
Wee hang Atchievments o're their dust,
(A Debt to their great merits iust;)
So if deserts of Oates wee prize,
Let Oates still hang before our eyes:
Thereby to raise our Contemplation
Oates being to this happy nation,
The mistick Embleme of Salvation.
FINIS.
