Epigr. 10. De Cadauere in littus eiecto.

The naked corpse cast out vpon the shoare,
Seemde in my thought thus wofully to plaine:
Sea, thou did'st drowne, and bury me before;
Why do thy waues then digge me out againe?
Thus we by earth and sea are inuired;
The earth castes forth her liue, the sea her dead.
