THESAVRVS INTVS.
Darius on a Graue-stone foundThis Epitaph: Who digs this ground
Shall treasure finde. The greedy King
Dig'd there, but found another thing.
Within was written; Had'st not been
A beastly-minded man, I ween
The harmelesse bones of the deceast
Had in their quiet tombes tane rest.
Who rips the coffins of the dead,
Finds fame and honour thence are fled
With life, the Subiect of their Ire;
Stench onely stayes to pay their hire.
“Worth hath his Epicedium sung
“By enuies shrill and slandrous tongue.
