Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900 — Evans, Abel

Alma novem genuit celebres Rhedycina poetas,

Bubb, Stubb, Gobb, Crabb, Trapp, Young, Carey,

Tickell, Evans.

To seize his papers, Curll, was next thy care;

His papers, light, fly diverse, tost in air;

Songs, sonnets, epigrams, the winds uplift.

And whisk 'em back to Evans, Young, and Swift.

Lie heavy on him, Earth, for he

Laid many a heavy load on thee.
