On the Death of the Honourable Mr. James Thynne by Anne Kingsmill Finch — Sad Poetry Lines
Farewell, lov'd Youth! since 'twas the Will of Heaven So soon to take, what had so late been giv'n; And thus our Expectations to destroy, Raising a Grief, where we had form'd a Joy; Who once believ'd, it was the Fates Design In Him to double an Illustrious Line, And in a second Channel spread that Race Where ev'ry Virtue shines, with every Grace. But we mistook, and 'twas not here below That this engrafted Scion was to grow; The Seats above requir'd him, that each Sphere Might soon the Offspring of such Parents share.
