Front:
o the living memorn of bis dæreased friend
Claptain Zobn Smith.
sometime Governour of Yirginia,
and Admiral of Pew England.
who departed this life the 21 of Zune 1631.
ACCORDIAMUS VINCERE EST VIVERE.
here Ines one conquered that hath conquered Kings.
Subdud large 6erritories, and done things
Which to the Dorld impossible would serm,
But that the ruth is held in more esteem.
Shall I report his former Scrvice done
In honour of his God and Christendom?
how that he did divide from Pagans three
6heir Heads and Libes, Gppes of his Chibalry.
For which great Scrvite in that Climate donr,
Brave Sigismundus. King of Hungarion.
Did giüe him as a Coat of Armes to wear,
Ghese Conquered Heads got by his Sword and Spear.
Or shall I tell of his Adbeutures since
Done in Virginia. that large Continent?
How that he subdud Kings uuto his Yoke,
Hud made those heathen flee, as Gind doth Smoke:
Hud made their land, being of so large a Station,
An Habitation for our Christian Nation,
Ghere God is glorifyd, their Wants supplyd:
Ghich else, for Tecessaries must habe dpd.
But what avails his Conquests, now he lpeS
Interrd in Earth, a Prep to Worms and Hyes?
O! May His Soul in sweet Elysium slæp,
Until the KerpeT that all Souls doth keep.
Return to Judgmeut; and that after theuce,
Vith Angels be map habe his Rerompence.
