ON THE DEATH OF SIR DAVID FALCONER OF NEWTON, Lord Precedent of the Council and Session.  
NOt to disparage other Hero's praise,  
Whose Temples have been wreathed with Themis Bays:  
In this our Age we truly may aver,  
None lived more loved, then worthy Falconer.  
The Bar declared him Learned and Eloquent,  
The Bench a Grave Judicious Precedent.  
His Parents, Children, and good Lady, prove  
His great Obedience, Piety, and Love.  
His Life (ah! short) was from his tender Youth;  
All Diligence, Integrity, and Truth.  
Nothing could him from equity withdraw.  
Law's a dumb Judge, he was a speaking Law,  
And could no more from that just Rule decline,  
Than Sol can stray from the Ecliptic Line.
