Placida[que] demum ibi morte quievit. And up into the Fairy Land His Soul did fleeting go. ----At AEthereas repetit mens ignea sedes. Whereas the Fairy Queen receiv'd With happy Mourning Cheer The Body of this valiant Knight, Whom she esteem'd so dear; For with her dancing Nymphs in Green She fetch'd him from his Bed, With Musick and with Melody, As soon as Life was fled. ----Et fotum gremio Dea tollit in Altos Idaliae lucos---- So one of our Modern Poets; Thither the Fairys and their Train resort, And leave their Revels, and their midnight Sport. We find in all the most celebrated Poets some Goddess that takes upon her to be the peculiar Guardian of the Hero, which has been carry'd on very elegantly in this Author. But agen; For whom King _Arthur_ and his Knights, Full forty Days did mourn, And in Remembrance of his name, Who was so strangely born, He built a Tomb of Marble grey, And Year by Year did come, To celebrate the Mournful Day, And Burial of _Tom Thumb_, Whose Fame lives here in _England_ still, Among the Country sort, Of whom their Wives and Children small, Tell Tales of pleasant Sport. So _Ovid_; ----Luctus monumenta manebunt Semper Adoni mei, repetita[que] mortis Imago Annua plangoris peragit simulamina Nostri. Nor is this Conclusion unlike one of the best Latin Poems this Age has produc'd. Tu Taffi AEternum vives, tua munera Cambri Nunc etiam Celebrant, quoties[que] revolvitur Annus Te memorant, Patrium Gens tota tuetur Honorem, Et cingunt viridi redolentia tempora Porro. And now, tho' I am very well satisfied with this Performance, yet, according to the usual Modesty of us Authors, I am oblig'd to tell the World, _it will be a great Satisfaction to me, knowing my own Insufficiency_, if I have given but some Hints of the Beauties of this Poem, which are capable of being improv'd by those of greater Learning and Abilities. And I am glad to find by a Letter I have receiv'd from one of the _Literati_ in _Holland_, That the learned _Huffius_, a great Man of our Nation, is about the Translation of this Piece into _Latin_ Verse, which he assures me will be done with a great deal of Judgment, in case he has enough of that Language to furnish out the Undertaking. I am very well Appris'd, That there has been publish'd Two Poems lately, Intituled, The Second and Third Parts of this Author; which treat of our little Hero's rising from the Dead in the Days of King _Edgar_: But I am inform'd by my Friend the _Schoolmaster_, and others, That they were compos'd by an Enthusiast in the last Century, and have been since Printed for the Establishment of the Doctrine of Monsieur _Marion_ and his Followers, and the Resurrection of Dr. _Ems_.
