Epig. 5. De nomine in Marmore sculpto.
Great Marcus made his pure proud marble toomIn Pauls Church wall, for lacke of better roome:
Foule snake-ei'd Enuy, s'daining his great praise,
Hath cut M.thus [OMITTED] as thogh she meant to raze
His name quite forth of Fames immortal booke,
And breakes the stones, makes all vnseemly look:
If stones and names decay, what wonder then
Thogh death destroy vs weak and mortal men?
