Deaths impartiality.
Carmen Hexametrum.
To his dearest brother, Mr. William Holmes, Citizen of Exeter.
High minded Pyrrhus, brave Hector, stout Agamemnon,
Hannibal, and Scipio, whom all the world did attend on,
That worthy Captain, world conquering great Alexander,
That tender, constant, true hearted, lovely Leander,
That cunning Painter, that curious handed Apelles,
Mirmidons insatiate, that kept the Tent of Achilles,
Alphonsus Aragon, that great Mathematicall Artist,
That stately Queene of beauty, that Lady Mars kist,
Wit, wealth, and beauty, yea all these pomps that adorne us,
Must see black Phlegiton, rough Styx, and fatall Averaus.
