On Sight of some Martyr's Sepulchres.

1 HEre lies Dust Confus'dly hurl'd,
2 But Dust that once shall judge the World!
3 Blest Saints, when the quick Flames Enlarg'd
4 Your Souls, and from dull Flesh discharg'd,
5 Th'Ambitious Fires strove to Convey
6 Your Spirits on their tryumphant Way,
7 But wing'd with Glory They Aspird,
8 And lest the Flames behind them Tir'd.
