Hero ["Both robd of aire wee both lie in one grownd,"]

Epigrams
Hero and Leander.

Both robd of aire wee both lie in one grownd,
Both whome one fire had burnd, one water drownd|

Piramis And Thisbe.
Two by them selues, each other, loue, and feare
Slaine, cruell frends by parting, haue ioynd here.|

Niobe.
By childrens birth, and death, I am become
Soe dry, that I am now myne owne tombe.|

A Burnt Ship.
Out of a fired Ship, which by noe waie
But drowning, could bee rescued from the flame,
Some men leapt forth, and euer as they came
Neer the foes ships did by their shott decaie.
Soe all were lost, which in the Ship were founde
They in the Sea being burnt, they in the burnt ship drownd.|

Fall of a Wall.
Vnder an vndermind, and shott bruisd wall
A too bold Captaine perished by the fall;
Whose braue misfortune happiest men enuied,
That had a Towne for tomb, his bones to hide.|

A Lame Begger.|
I am vnable, yonder begger cryes
To stand, or moue, if hee say true hee lies|

A Selfe Accuser.|
Your Mistrisse that yow follow whores still taxeth yow
Tis strange that shee should thus confess it though itt bee true.
