Epig. 32. All Saints, and all Soules Day, 1. and 2. of November .
Thou Sunne, that shed'st the dayes, looke down and see,A moneth more shining by events then thee,
Departed Soules, and Saints sign'd it before,
But know the living now do signe it more,
Persons, and Actions meet, all meant for Joy,
But some are born to build, some to destroy;
100
Not these two daies, but the whole moneth's our own.
