Eleg. 5.
Envie now burst with joy, and let thine eyesStrut forth with fatnesse: let thy collops rise
Pampred and plump: Feed full for many yeares
Vpon our losse: Be drunken with our teares:
For he is dead, whose soule did never cease
To crosse and violate your malitious peace:
He's dead; but in his death hath overthrowne
More vices, than his happy life had done:
In life he taught to dye; and he did give
In death, a great example how to live:
Though he be gone, his fame is left behinde:
Now leave thy laughing Envie, and be pin'd.
