AN EPITAPH ON MR. WM. HOPTON.

Reader, stay, & read a Truth:
Heere lyes Hopton, Goodnes, Youth.
Drop a teare, & let it be
True as thou would'st wish for thee;
Shed one more, thou best of soules;
Those two teares shall be new Poles:
By the first wee'le sayle & find
Those lost Jewells of his mynde;
By the Latter we will swymme
Back againe, & sleep with him.
