His Epitaph (Du Bartas)

Here lyes the Pearle of France, Parnassus Glory;
The World rejoyc'd at's birth, at's death was sorry.
Art and Nature joyn'd, by heavens high decree
Now shew'd what once they ought, Humanity:
And Natures Law, had it been revocable
To rescue him from death, Art had been able.
But Nature vanquish'd Art, so Bartas dy'd,
But Fame out-living both, he is reviv'd.
