Two bookes of epigrammes, and epitaphs | ||
162. Of incineration.
As Daniel did by strewing ashes find,The juggling Priests deceite; so in thy mind
And memory the wholsome ashes cast,
Whereto the fates will sift thy flesh at last;
And the false foot-steps of the world thereby
Thou shalt race out, and guilefull trickes descry.
