EPITAPHIVM.

Romes poison, Spaines coplots, the French designes
Thy skill foresees, discouers, vndermines.
Dog-like they lick'd the dust, crouch't low, and faund,
When (liuing) thy skil'd power did ought command:
But (dead) they madly rage, grin, some for spite;
For toothlesse curres will bark that cannot bite.
