Epigram 21 (When Sextus Quintus traytrously had slayne,)

When Sextus Quintus traytrously had slayne,
He threw his spoyled corpse into the deepe.
But the iust sea did throw him out againe,
And to a murder would not counsaile keepe.
The fact appeares, the author of the sinne,
Is yet vnknowne, but see the slayne doth bleede.
And his cold blood runs out, and points at him,
And cryes, this is the author of the deede.
Thus euen the dead against such villanie
Of Abels blood for vengeance learne to cry.
