VI. Epitaph on the Earl of Salisbury.

(Died May 24, 1612.)
Here lies Hobbinol, our pastor whilere,
That once in a quarter our fleeces did sheer.

57

To please us his cur he kept under clog,
And was ever after both shepherd and dog.
For oblation to Pan his custom was thus:—
He first gave a trifle, then offered up us.
And through his false worship such power he did gain,
As kept him o'th' mountain and us on the plain:
Where many a hornpipe he tuned to his Phyllis,
And sweetly sung Walsingham to 's Amaryllis. [OMITTED]
