The Epitaph of Paule the fourth.
Here lyes vnhappie Carrafa, abhor'd of God and man,His soule I feare to hell, his corps to graue fast ranne.
No peace on earth he could abide, no honour done to God:
The people and the Cleargie both, he vext at home, abroad.
To enemies he yeelded soon, his friends helou'd in iest
What would ye more? he was a Pope as false as all the rest.
