UPON THE MUST LAMENTED, MR. J. WARR, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: What wisdome, learning, wit, or worth
Last Line: Not one, but many monuments.
Subject(s): Mourning; Bereavement


What Wisdome, Learning, Wit, or Worth,
Youth, or sweet Nature, co'd bring forth,
Rests here with him; who was the Fame,
The Volumne of himselfe, and Name.
If, Reader, then thou wilt draw neere,
And doe an honour to thy teare;
Weep then for him, for whom laments
Not one, but many Monuments.
