Otia Sacra Optima Fides | ||
168
An Epitaph on E. W.
Nature lent time, so He grew oldAnd prodigall at once in this,
Setting it all at stake 'gainst gold,
Whereof He made his greatest bliss:
But when She saw He took of All
Men interest, yet paid Her none,
She Calls for in the Principall,
And layes it up under this Stone,
Defessus est ambulando.
