First Line: No way unworthy of his fair descent
Last Line: Not move thy tears, but warm thee with like flame.
Subject(s): Carey, Sir Ferdinando; Death; Dead, The
NO way unworthy of his fair descent,
Careless of that brave life which we lament,
All the good ends of living here acquir'd,
Much lov'd, much honour'd, and how much desir'd!
His virtue past, all trials shining far,
Bright in the brightest sphere of fame, the war,
Submitting gladly to that fate which oft
He had so boldly, and so bravely fought --
Here Carew lies, but (Reader) may that name
Not move thy tears, but warm thee with like flame.
