Epig. 9 In tumulum Ferdinand. Darbie.

Be not so bould to ope this dead mans dore,
Vnlesse thou come from th' aërie house of woes,
Ne dare thou once vpon this Marble pore,
Vnlesse thou poure thy sight out on these roes,
If to faire knighthood thou bearst any zeale,
Vnrest, care, griefe, sad discontent, and woe,
On these fiue bells ring thou a dolefull peale,
Volies of sighes fast after them let goe:
Rest, in vnrest, teares-spitting forge be burning,
Vntil some write The Muses nine dayes mourning.
