Epigram 111. An Epitaph on Mr. Isaac Coe who died about the 40th year of his Age

by Sir Aston Cokain 1608–1684

From A Chain of Golden Poems (1658)

Death & Dying

Here Master Isaack Coe of Lincolns-Inn,
A Glory to that house, and to his kin,
Doth buried lie; which Loss we needs must mourn,
And pay our tears as Tribute to his Urne:
But how can we call this his Sepulchre,
Whom all his Friends do in their hearts inter?
