Two bookes of epigrammes, and epitaphs | ||
215. On Wood of Kent, that prodigious Gormund.
Some wondeer how the Stone SarcophagusConsumes dead bodies with so quicke a power,
But I astonied am my selfe, that thus
A walking Wood should such a masse devoure
Of meates wherewith a Garrison might dine;
His heart's of Oake sure, and his stomacke Pine.
