EPIGRAM; Mr. Kedgwyn.
The radiant splendor[20] of Tom Hortons nose Amates the ruby and puts downe the rose, Had I a iewell of soe rich an hewe, I would present it to some monarchs viewe, Subjects ought not to weare such gemms as those, Therefore our Prince shall have Tom Horton's nose!
[Footnote 20: The word "l.u.s.tre" is interlined above "splendor,"
as another suggested reading in place of the latter word.]

EPITAPH IN THE CHAUNCERY[21] AT SANDEY IN BEDFORD[SHIRE.]
Cur caro laetatur dum vermibus esca paratur?
Terrae terra datur, caro nascitur ut moriatur; Terram terra tegat, demon peccata resumat, Mundus res habeat, spiritus alta petat.
Why growes our fleshe so proud, Whiles 'tis but made wormes foode?
This earth must turne to earth.
To dye flesh tooke it birth, The earth our earth must hyde, Our synnes the deuill betyde, The world our goodes must haue, And G.o.d our soules will saue.
[Footnote 21: Chancel or chantry?]
