John Dryden - Upon Young Mr. Rogers, of GloucestershireJohn Dryden - Upon Young Mr. Rogers, of Gloucestershire
Work rating: Low


Of gentle blood, his parents` only treasure, Their lasting sorrow, and their vanished pleasure, Adorned with features, virtues, wit, and grace, A large provision for so short a race: More moderate gifts might have prolonged his date, Too early fitted for a better state: But, knowing heaven his home, to shun delay, He leaped o`er age, and took the shortest way.
