Otii lassum accipitrem canemque
Seque captivum juvenem, querentis,
Et lacus dulces, Elenamque molli
Voce sonantis,
Palluit cantus ;-adiit trementem
Lene subsidens, generosus hospes,
Simplici plumâ, viridisque veste
Notus, et ore.
Et suâ, quem tu petis, hìc in arce
Regius jam nunc, ait, est Jacobus ;
Virgini nunquam gravis invocanti,
Mitte timores;
Te manent intus pater, atque patre
Charior; nudis Procerum capillis
Coetus exspectat, poterisque opertum
Noscere Regem ;
Et vagi posthac Equitis pericla
Forsan, et suaves Elenæ loquelas
Et levem vates memori phaselum
Carmine dicet.
I have only further to state, that the Chief Justice left not a splendid, but a competent fortune to his family. He is now represented by his eldest son John, the second Lord Tenterden, a most amiable and excellent man. As the title was worthily won, I trust that it may long endure, and that it may be as much respected as if he who first bore it had "come in with the CONQUEROR."
