Epitaph Monsieur Maynard.

John , who below here reposes at leisure,
By pilf'ring on all hands, did rake up a Treasure
629

Above what he e're could have hop'd for himself;
He was Master of much; but imparted to no Man,
So that had he not had a Wife, that was common
Ne're any Man living had shar'd of his Wealth.
