The Living Man's Elegie Or Doctor Sacheverell's much lamented silence

Satire in the form of an elegy on Henry Sacheverell who was prohibited from preaching by the House of Lords on 23 March 1710; an arched monument with at the top a portrait of Benjamin Hoadly held by two angels; Fame above holding a wreath and blowing a trumpet, on either side a skull and cross-bones with the words "Memento" and "Mori"; on the capitals of the pilasters candles, one extinguished and one burning; below on the left, a skull with a laurel wreath and cross-bones and a celestial crown with palms and laurels, and on the right a winged hourglass and a pick-axe and shovel. Under the arch is a scroll with fourteen engraved lines of verse satirically lamenting Sacheverell enforced silence, and at the bottom a tomb chest with two weeping boys and an "Epitaph", "Here lies Sacheverell, who would have thought it,/Jacks and High Flyers did not, tho: they wrought it./From Fiercely Preaching in a railling way/He's now debar'd, then laugh and go your way." 1710
