Death & Dying
Epigram 72. An Epitaph on Lycisca, who forc'd her husband to counterfeit his Religion
From A Chain of Golden Poems (1658)
Death & Dying
Here lyes Lycisca, that was full of Evil:
And (therefore to be fear'd) gone to the Devil.
Now (seeing he and she have set all even)
Her Husband may walk in the Rode to Heaven.
