Death & Dying
Epigram 31 (Heere I lie sealed vnder this stone,)
From Chrestoleros (1598), Book 1
Death & Dying
Heere I lie sealed vnder this stone,
Deathes loathsome prisoner, lifes castaway.
Which when I liued was loued of none,
Nor louely to any as all men can say.
Now all men for dying doe loue me, though ill,
I would not reuiue to loose their good will.
