I.

Epigram. [Iohn]

Knights of Saint Iohn, Knights, Templers, Knights of Rhodes,
And Malta's Knights (there now is their Abodes)
36

And at this Place a House was built for them,
Then call'd Saint Iohns House of Ierusalem.

Epigram. [Iohns Head]

Hee that in all his life ne're car'd for Wine
For Wine his memory is made a Signe:
Where such as to the Wine their lives doe wed,
May lose their wit, although they keepe their head.
