Death & Dying
An Epitaph on Mr. Will. Lawes Batchelor in Musick, who was mortally shot at the siege of Westchester.
From The Muses Melody in a Consort of Poetrie ([1680?])
Death & Dying
COncord is conquer'd: In this Urne there lies
The Master of great Musick's mysteries,
And in it is a riddle like the cause:
Will. Lawes was slain by such whose wills were laws.
