M. S. Johannis Trenchard, Armigeri.

  • QUI, quamvis antiqua stispe ortus, multisque opibus florens,
  • Neque domo, neque pecunia, præcipuam sibi laudem Assecutus est.
  • Quam alii claritudine generis,
  • (Majoribus innixi)
  • Quam alii divitiis
  • Gloriam oftentant fortuitam & inanem,
  • Ille virtute ingenioque
  • Sinceram, propriamque, & mansuram sibi comparavit:
  • Solertia & morum sanctitate, imaginibus domus,
  • Præluxit.
  • Vim animi, integritatem vitæ, in patriam suosque caritatem
  • Pauci æquarunt; antecessere nulli.
  • Pucritia vix egressus, Foro vacavit,
  • Legum peritus, causisque orandis validus:
  • Sed jurgiis Forensibus atque lucro statim valedicens,
  • Secessum dilexit, vitamque privatam.
  • Reip. tamen curam, nunquam sibi neglectam,
