Epitaph on John Newter.
Reader! John Newter who erst plaidThe Jack on both sides, here is laid,
Who like th'herb John Indifferent
Was nor for King or Parliament;
Yet fast and loose he could not play
With death, he took him at a Bay;
What side his soule hath taken now
God or Div'l? we hardly know:
But this is certain; since he dy'd,
Hee hath been mist of neither side.
