Flovvers of Epigrammes | ||
Of Chrisalus couetous.
Riche Chrisalus at point of death,doeth mourne, complaine and crie:
Was neuer man as he so lothe,
to leaue his life and die.
Not for because he dies hymself,
his death he doeth not force:
But that his graue must cost a grote,
to shroude his carrion corse.
