Jamq; Opus Exegi.
My Life, and work (for ought, that yet I know)Is either quite, or almost ended now;
And my Quietus est, within a Grave
Is, that, which best would please me, now to have:
For, by their struggling, many years together,
My Flesh and Spirit, have nigh tir'd each other.
Lord, let the short-snuff, of my Life unspent
Burn out, with clear flames, and a pleasing scent.
Newgate, January the 27th. 1661.
Geo. Wither.
THE END.
