Epitaphium Paridis, Epig. 14.

Thou that beat'st the Flaminian way
Passe not this Noble Tombe but stay,
Here Rome's delight, and Nile's salt treasure,
Art, Graces, Sport, and sweetest Pleasure,
98

The grief and glory of the Stage,
And all the Cupids of the Age,
And all the Uenusses lye here
Interr'd in Paris Sepulcher.
