And let another take his Office.

Psalm cix. 8.

Illustration from Emblems of Mortality; representing, in upwards of fifty cuts, death seizing all ranks and degrees of people

Thou who, elated with Success, Immortal claim’st to be, From Men’s Affairs, in little Space, Thyself remov’d shalt see. Though now the great High-Priest thou art, And in Rome’s See dost sit, Soon shall thy Office, in thy Place, A Successor admit.
