Sonnet. 13.
[No Monumentall Trophee Vertue needes]
No Monumentall Trophee Vertue needes,And good report a marble Tombe out-weares:
Fame plaies the Herald, & proclaimes mens deeds,
Her Trumps shrill sound the spacious world heares.
And such an vniuersall Tombe hast thou,
Borne on the tops of thousand thousand tongs:
Thy liuing merit doth thy name allow
A Monument for euer, which belongs
To none but such as whilom was thy selfe,
Who vs'd the world as if they vs'd it not:
And did acknowledge misbegotten pelfe,
Must (like the getters of it) rust and rot.
And such a liuing Tombe thy Corps inherit,
A good report, according to thy merit.
