MvsesAlas what happe hast thou poore Pithias now to die,
Wo worth the man which for his death hath geuen us cause to crie,
Evbvlvs.
With yelow rented heares come on you Muses nine,
Fyll now my breast with heauy tunes, to me your plaints resigne.

To shew true friendshipps power, which forst thee now to die.

What faith hast thou, which for thy friend, thy death doth not refuse

Wo worth the man, etc.
Evbvlvs.
Thou young and worthy Greeke, that showest such perfect loue,
The Gods receaue thy simple ghost, into the heauens aboue:
Thy death we shall lament with many a weepinge eye:
Wo worth the man which for his death, etc.
Mvses.
Wo worth the man which for thy death, hath geuen us cause to crie.
FINIS.
