[vii] EPITAPH.
The Bawd of Iustice, he who Lawes controll'd,And made them fawne, and frowne as he got gold,
That Proteus of our State, whose Hart and Mouth
Were farther distant than is North from South,
That Cormorant who made himselfe so grosse
On Peoples Ruine, and the Princes Losse,
Is gone to and though he here did euill,
He meanes below to prooue an honest Deuill.
