Epig. 5. Richard the Vsurper.

Thy active braines ow'd to Prometheus much,
Like Sulphur they caught flame at every touch.
Quick thy contrivance was, thy Lamprey eyes
Where there were none, could make discoueries,
Discord thy musick was, and in thy Bed
Thou onely slep'st, when Stormes did rock thy Head.
