ON MR. JOHN DEANE, OF NEW COLLEDGE.
Let no man walke neere this Tombe,
That hath left his Griefe at home.
Heere so much of Goodnesse lyes,
We should not weepe teares, but eyes,
And grope homeward from this stone
Blinde for contemplation
How to liue & dye as he.
Deane, to thy deare memorye
With this I would offer more,
Could I be secur'd before
They should not be frown'd vpon
At thy Resurrection.
That hath left his Griefe at home.

And grope homeward from this stone

Deane, to thy deare memorye
With this I would offer more,
Could I be secur'd before
They should not be frown'd vpon
At thy Resurrection.
Yet accept upon thy hearse
My Teares, far better then my Verse.
They may turne to eyes, & keepe
Thy bed vntouch'd, whilst thou dost sleepe.
My Teares, far better then my Verse.
They may turne to eyes, & keepe
Thy bed vntouch'd, whilst thou dost sleepe.
