First Line: Posterity hath many fates bemoan'd
Last Line: Who ne'er had vanquish'd all things but in thee.
Subject(s): Cotton, Sir Robert Bruce (1561-1631)
POSTERITY hath many fates bemoan'd,
But ages long since past for thee have groan'd.
Time's trophies thou didst rescue from the grave,
Who in thy death a second burial have.
Cotton, death's conquest now complete I see,
Who ne'er had vanquish'd all things but in thee.
