57. An Epitaph on King Arthur.
Arthur our Worthy, whose grandname in warShall evermore load Fames triumphant Car,
This Marble covers; nobler dust then those
For whom the Pyramids of Egypt rose.
Had but his life reacht out to his intent,

Nothing but treason foul could periodize
The Progress in his Saxon victories:
And Glassenbury Abbey loudly boasts
That it contains the Terrour of their Hoasts.
