"_Haile Glorious soul! to whome the Crown is given;
"All hail thou mighty Favourite of Heaven!
"Triumphant Martyr from that endless Throne
"Where Thou must Raigne with Christ, disturb'd by none,
"Looke down a while, and view upon his Knee
"An undeserved Friend to Truth and Thee.
"Pardon that boasted Title, since that Love
"Which gave it here, must needs confirm't above:
"For 'twas a flaming Charity, which sure
"Since boundless here must endless there endure.
"But ah, alasse great Saint, I owne with Shame,
"That ill, I then, worse now, deserve the Name;
"Whilst here on Earth, my troubles kept me still,
"From Friendship's Laws, as now my Senses will;
"But what you pardon'd once on Fortune's score,
"Be pleas'd on Patience now to pity more;
"And for that good which you did here designe,
"Without Reward or least Desert of mine,
"Obtain me now from Our Great Lord and Thine;
"Not that I hope to equall you in Place,
"Tho' I could wish it with the like Disgrace;
"I only hope to view that holy Ring,
"Where Crowned Saints doe Hallelujahs sing.
"Prepare mee some low Place in that bright Quire,
"Where tho' I may not Sing I may admire._

A manuscript copy of these verses is preserved in the British
Museum Library, written on the back of a printed paper, entitled
"The answer of Coleman's Ghost to H. N.'s Poetick Offering." Nevill
is there called a Priest, but in the preceding information he is
merely styled "Gentleman."
