TEnê Thori obscuris clarum caput addidit vmbris

Pestiferi vis saeua mali? non abs (que) querelae

Et tanto inuidiae cumulo saeuire profanam

In plebem, & solo magnos abdomine Patres

Caeca lues poterat? Cur tu pars maxima cladis?

Cur de te tantum licuit? te maxime vatum

Te Medici Coryphaee gregis? certè illa nocentem

Plus fecit se morte tuâ quàm mille potentum

Funeribus, quàm si totam grassante veneni

Profluuio ignauis vacuasset ciuibus vrbem.

[Page] Amusae leuis est turbae iactura, resurgit

Abs (que) labore filix, lolium (que) renascitnr agris

Semine non iacto: sed si Narcissus ab imâ

Euulsus radice fuit, si frigore adusta

Vel Rosa, vel Violae, vel mollis Amaracus, aegrè

Nec nisi post multum veniunt exculta laborem.

Quae nobis nunc gleba dabit, quae cura secundum

Substituet Thorium? potis est Natura beare

Ingenio, Genium ingenio superaddere curtas

Naturae transcendit opes, Heroica virtus

Rarò habet haeredem, doctos dat quaelibet aetas,

Non quaeuis Thorios, concurrant sidera oportet

Omnia coniunctis pariant vt viribus vnum

Vel Medicum insignem vel plenum Numine vatem:

At Thorius fuerat tam foelix, vnus vtrâ (que)

Vt pariter foret arte potens, promittere vitam

Poeoniâ, Aoniâ poterat promittere famam.

Rarus honos paucis (que); datus producere vitae

Fila vel inuitis (si fas est dicere) Parcis:

Et mage rarus honos, Parcam exarmare secantem

Cùm medicina nequit, pereuntis stamina vitae

Supplere aeterno famae subtemine, & istam

Quae pars est melior, viuendi & ca [...]sa, perennem

Transferre in telam, quam nec liuoris iniqui

Stigmata, nec possint senij corrodere dentes.

Hoc alijs hoc ipse sibi praestare valebat

[Page] Versipotens Thorius: quod erat mortale sub vmbras

Ante diem si permisit descendere, fati

Crimen erat, non artis iners vel culpa, vel error

Artificis, quem Naturae non vlla latebant

Arcana: herbarum cunctas cum nomine vires

Nouerat, omnigenûm rixas & foedera rerum,

Quicquid & ad Medicos Chymicus calor excoquit usus,

Quinetiam aethereis quicquid descripta maníplis

Lumina mortales influxu operantur in artus.

Vos animae, vos O animae, quas ille minaci

Eripuit monstro cum grassaretur Erynnis,

Spargeret & totam virus ferale per vrbem▪

Vos testor; meministis enim & memorare potestis

Quàm bene de vobis meruit, quàm fortiter aegris

Adfuit, & quoties Libitinam elusit hiantem.

Non Cous plus ipse senex deuinxit Athenas

Afflictas contage graui, & lethalibus auris,

Vnde grauem tulit ex auro radiante coronam,

Quàm Thorius Luddi dictos de nomine ciues:

Et cunctatur adhuc tanto defuncta periclo

Reddere protractae statuam pro munere vitae

Plumbea gens? certè talem si prisca tulissent

Secla virum, non effigies satis vna fuisset

Non vmbris satis vllus honos mortalibus addi

Consuetus, certê Thorius superaddita bustis

Templa, & fumantes habuisset odoribus aras.

[Page] Sed saecli vitio nec sint sua praemia viuis

Nec morte ereptis, iaceat sine vindice virtus:

Non ingrata tamen penitus nostra audiet aetas

Chare Thori, non haec omnes infamia tanget:

Nos tibi, queis tecum communia sacra fuerunt,

Symmistae Aonij, tibi nos aeterna laborum

Praemia mansuras & consecrabimus aras,

Non structas mortali operâ,

[...]icum 4. [...]liae Re [...].

sed Numinis arte

Quo plenum tibi pectus erat, dum ingente cothurno

Aut Magnum infami traiectum pectora ferro,

[...]nricum [...]liae Prin [...]em.

Ereptum aut nobis crudeli funere Daphnín,

Aut caneres laeti ludens miracula fumi.

[...]ma de Ta [...]o.

Ipse ego de tanto minimus grege carmen ad Aras

Appendam, leget appensum sic forte viator:

Nil opus est hospes biiuges exquirere cliuos

Vt Phoebi afflatum captes per somnia; Diuus

Hîc colitur Thorius, totum qui pectore toto

Et Phoebum & Phoebi natum congesserat; istas

Tantùm Aras ornare velis violis (que) rosis (que)

Et Maneis placare pios: his functus abibis

Et Medicus foelix, & anhelus Apolline vates.

R. A. E.

THorius, Poeta quo nec vllus dignior,

Dignum Poetam nactus est.

Gemella virtus laude sociauit pari

Ʋiuum hunc, & illum mortuum.

Sic ille solitus canere, sic voluit cani:

In morte solum hoc commodum.

Sic approbauit imprimenda dexteri

Equitis Poetae carmina

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
