His Epitaph written by himselfe The Span of my dayes meassur'd , heere I rest That is , my body : but my soule , his ●est , Is hence ascended where neither Tyme , Nor Faith : nor Hope , but onely loue can clime , Where being more enlightned , Shee doth know The truth of all , men argue of below : Onely this dust doth heere in 〈◊〉 remaine , That when the world dissolues she come againe .

Those Swan-like notes , sung so inspiredly to thy vntimely fall , proue most exact Line 's drawne from Life : & thy swift Tragedie showes but thine owne Soules Prophecie in Act. Thy Name , and Vertues fiue : To kill thy Mould was all Imprisonment , and Poyson could . But thy more-heauenly - Self , from double chaines sett free ( at once ) Thy Body , and the Tower , In that Supreme vnpartiall Court remaines , wher nor Ambition , Enuy Lust haue power : Redeem'd from poysonous plotts , from Witches charmes , from Weston's & th' Apothecaries harmes .
