An EPITAPH, Upon The Right Honorable
A towre is fallen, and it lyes
Represented to thy eyes:
Therefore, Reader, if thy breath
Had an interest in his death,
Unfix thy thoughts, and post away,
Reason forbids a Tyrants stay:
Represented to thy eyes:
Therefore, Reader, if thy breath
Had an interest in his death,
Unfix thy thoughts, and post away,
Reason forbids a Tyrants stay:
Lavish out your hearty cryes,
Open wide your flowing eyes,
Record his worth, and let all hearts
Doate upon his living parts:
Open wide your flowing eyes,
Record his worth, and let all hearts
Doate upon his living parts:
Can any thinke upon his Name,
And not labour to proclaime
Perpetuall praises to his worth,
Engaging hearts to set him forth:
Let all men say, and not repent,
Loe, here lyes Murthers Complement.
And not labour to proclaime
Perpetuall praises to his worth,
Engaging hearts to set him forth:
Let all men say, and not repent,
Loe, here lyes Murthers Complement.
Dignum laude virum musa vetat
mori. ------
