Ex Petro Hembo. An Epitaph upon one Thebaldæus an excellent Musitian.

Qui ripis te sæpe suis stupuere Canentem,
Eridanus Tiberisque; parens ille, hic tuus Hospes, &c.

Eridanus and Tiberis flood,
Who when upon their bankes thou stood,
Admir'd thee singing (in one bred
And by the other nurst and fed)
Most credible it is that thou
In the Elysian fields singst now,
And mak'st such musicke with thy tongue,
That all the Gods about thee throng.
