Deathes Epitaph, vpon euery mans Graue.

Behold the state of all the Sonne of Men,
I hat liue to die, and die they know not when:
How Flowerlike they wither and decay;
How soone Deaths Sith doth mow them downe like Hay.
How vaine a thing of all thinges els, is Man,
How short his life is measur'd out a span:
How he is borne with teares, brought vp in paine,
And how with sighes, he leaues the world againe.
