Death & Dying
Translation of an Epitaph upon Gilbert Glanville, Bishop of Rochester
From Miscellaneous Works (Waller, 1907)
Death & Dying
GILBERTUS Glanville whose heart was as hard as an Anvil
Always litigious who shou'd have been highly religious
Full fraught with Law suits he to that Court aptly descended
Where quiet appears not, and quarrels never are ended.
