Within this arch embalm'd doth ly.
One, whose high fame can never dy;
Milton, whose most ingenious pen.
Obliged has all learned men.
Great his undertakings were
(None greater of their kind)
Which sufficiently declare
The worth and greatness of his mind;
Mean adversaries he declin'd,
And battel with the cheifest joyn'd.
Not e'en the royal pourtraicture
Proudly could before him stand,
But fel and broke,
Not able (as it seems) t' indure
The heavy stroke
Of His Iconoclastes hand.
