Epig. 9. On the pollution of a well known Temple.
Now birds, and Four-foot-beasts inhabite where,The Sacred Fathers er'st assembled were,
The Porches full of noble Imagerie,
Oppressed with their own weight, prostrate lie,
Fanes lie full low,
Grasse on Tombs do grow,
So many adornments, rare workes, Sepulchers
And sacred Urnes, one ruine now interr's.
