Nuncius é cœlo, tandem componere lites,
Fati, descendens, ultima jussa refert.
Tum moriens animam cœlo, corpusque sepulchro,
Nobis ingenii clara trophæa dedit.[TRANSLATION.]
Heaven, earth and men, for one thing do contend,
Each one doth Fowler challenge as his own;
God's messenger from heaven, the strife to end,
Descends; and thus his will performs, and's gone!
His soul to heaven; his body to the grave;
To us the trophies of his wit he gave.
