Ad Marianum, Epig. 63.

Thou knowst thy self entrapd, and art aware
How coveteous he was that layd the snare.
And (Marian) needs must know his second care;
Yet notwithstanding dost make him thine heir,
And headily wouldst have him to succeed
Thee in thy goods and lands by thy last Deed.
58

Tis true he sent rich gifts, but layd in wire,
And can the Fish their murderer desire?
Or will he (Marian) truly weep for thee?
To have true tears, reverse thy Legacie.
