Epig. 23 In D. D. Ouerall Reg. profess.
Sad Sisters suted in despairing blacke,Curbe Cares vnrest, sing Carolles now againe,
Leane rake-tooth'd Death is like to go to wrack;
Of Whitaker a Phœnix breedes againe:
One ouer Death, moreouer, ouer More,
One ouer you, nay yet one ouer all.
Deaths ouerthrow let Ouerall be therefore,
A Victors praise of you deserue he shall.
And if my pen could Ouerall giue breath,
Then Ouerall should still be ouer death.
