AN EPITAPH ON SR. JOHN PROWDE.
(LIEUTENANT COLLONELL TO SR. CHARLES MORGAN), SLAYNE AT THE SIEDGE OF GROLL, & BURYED AT ZUTPHEN, 1627.
After a March of twenty yeares, & more,I got me downe on Yssells warlike shore;
There now I lye intrench'd, where none can seize me,
Vntill an Hoste of Angells come to raise me:
Warre was my Mistresse, & I courted her,
As Semele was by the Thunderer;
The mutuall Tokens 'twixt vs two allow'd,
Were Bullets wrapt in fire, sent in a Clowd;
One I receiued, which made me passe so farre,
That Honor layde me in the Bed of Warre.
