The Tears of Peace, which contains his finest work, is in honour of Prince Henry-a worthy work on a worthy subject, which was followed up later by an Epicedium on the prince's lamented death.

George Saintsbury
But now a quill from thine own wing I pluck, thy lofty fate to sing; Whilst we behold the varions fight With mingled pleasure and affright; The humbler hinds do fall to pray'r, As when an army's seen i' th' air, And the prophetick spannels run, And howle thy Epicedium.
"Lucasta"
Richard Lovelace
