Epitaphium Concubinæ.

Englished thus.

Who suffer'd Gibeahs Lust, and her Lords knife,
Whom not one Suitor would have had to wife;
By many Suitors perishing, here lyes,
A not-one Coarse, and many sacrifice.
O who would trust in formes, that houres impaire,
Vertue's true shape, and onely Goodnesse fayre.
