With what he begg'd, his brethren he reliev'd;
And gave the charities himself receiv'd.

Gave, while he taught; and edify'd the more,
Because he fhew'd, by proof, 'twas eafy to be poor.
He went not, with the crowd to fee a fhrine;
But fed us, by the way, with food divine.
In deference to his virtues, I forbear
To fhew you what the rest in orders were:
This brillant is so spotlefs, and fo bright,

He needs no foil, but fhines by his own proper light.

HILE Norman Tancred in Salerno reign'd,
The title of a gracious prince he gain'd;
Till turn'd a tyrant in his latter days,
He loft the luftre of his former praise;
And from the bright meridian where he flood,
Defcending, dipp'd his hands in lovers blood.
This prince, of Fortune's favour long poffefs'd,
Yet was with one fair daughter only blefs'd;
