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

Notes

Hoadly was the Low Church Champion and Sacheverell's opponent. His portrait, held by two angels, is a satirical copy of the portrait of Sacheverell and two angels, see BM 1868-8-8-3425 (BM Satires 1501).

For a reply to this attack on Sacheverell, see 1868-8-8-3444 (BM Satires 1545).

Licensing[edit]

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise.

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
