Flatman▓s "A Thought of Death" provided fodder for Pope▓s "The Dying Christian to his Soul".
Per Flatman▓s encomium on Charles II (whose portrait he also executed): "Kings should disdain to die, but only disappear." (cited by DeQuincey, footnote on ▒evanesces▓: "They should ABSCOND, that is, into the other world.").
