He died in 1684 ; and was buried, with great pomp, in Westminster Abbey. His poetical character is given by Mr. Fenton :
الصفحة 116 - O could I flow like thee ! and make thy stream My great example, as it is my theme ; Though deep yet clear, though gentle yet not dull ; Strong without rage, without o'erflowing full.
الصفحة 119 - With these t' avoid, with that his fate to meet; But fear prevails and bids him trust his feet. So fast he flies that his reviewing eye Has lost the chasers, and his ear the cry; Exulting till he finds their nobler sense Their...
