Chapter 13 No.13

On Edmund duke of Buckingham, who died in the nineteenth year of his age, 1735.

If modest youth, with cool reflection crown'd,

And ev'ry op'ning virtue blooming round,

Could save a parent's justest pride from fate,

Or add one patriot to a sinking state;

This weeping marble had not ask'd thy tear,

Or sadly told how many hopes lie h
