St. Paul’s Cathedral
On Sir Henry Croft.
Six lines this image shall delineate:—
High Croft, high borne, in spirit & in virtue high,
Approv’d, belov’d, a Knight, stout Mars his mate,
Love’s fire, war’s flame, in heart, head, hand, & eye;
Which flame war’s comet, grace, now so refines,
That pined in Heaven, in Heaven and Earth it shines.
