Epitaph.
Weltring in blood see here an Horse-leech sprawll,Glutted and overcharg'd, yet loath to fall;
Bred up 'ith Ocean; lately crept to th'shore,
(Though he had all, yet covetous of more.)
Which when the wise Phisitian saw, his thirst
That 'twas unsatiable, let him burst:
So having empti'd and disgorg'd his Maw,
Hence through the Rubick sea he swam away.
Feare not Colchestrian Dames, lest Lucas 'rise;
Veng'ance is fully paid; Here Rainsb'rongh lies.
