Epigram. 49. In fratrem suum nuper defunctum.

One brother had I whilst thou wer't aliue:
But one it is no number, as some say:
None had I then whil'st thou didst yet suruiue
What haue I now since thou art t'ane away?
If none before, then sure, since thou art gone,
It followes that I must haue lesse then none.
