| Of his and thy kingdome, doe thy Sonnes invest, |
| Yet such are these laws, that men argue yet |
| Whether a man those statutes can fulfill; |
| None doth, but thy all-healing grace and Spirit, |
| Revive againe what law and letter kill, |
| Thy lawes abridgement, and thy last command |
| Is all but love; Oh let this last Will stand! |

| EPIGRAMS |

| Hero and Leander. |
|
| Both rob'd of aire, we both lye in one ground, |
| Both whom one fire had burnt, one water drownd.* |
|
| Pyramus and Thisbé. |
|
| Two, by themselves, each other, love and feare |
| Slaine, cruell friends, by parting have joyn'd here. |
|
| Niobe. |
|
| By childrens births, and death, I am become |
| So dry, that I am now mine owne sad tombe.
