IN NORWICH CATHEDRAL.

Here WILLIAM INGLOTT, organist, doth rest,
Whose art in musick this cathedral blest:
For descant most, for voluntary all,
He past on organ, song, and virginall.

He left this life at age of sixty-seven,

And now, 'mongst angels all, sings St. in Heaven.
His fame flies far, his name shall never die;
See, art and age here crown his memorie.

Non digitis, Inglotte, tuis terrestria tangis,
Tangis nunc digitis organa celsa poli.
Anno Dom. 1621.

of December, 1621.

ON A MAN,

Who was killed by hitting his Head against a Pump.
Here lies JOHN ADAMS, who received a thump
Right on the forehead, from the parish pump;
Which gave him the quietus in the end,

By a DISCONSOLATE Widower, in a Church-yard, in Sussex. Here lies the body of Sarah, wife of John who died 24th March, 1823, aged forty-two years.

"The Lord giveth, and the Lord TAKETH AWAY; blessed be the name of the Lord."

IN NEWBURY CHURCHYARD, ON A MAN AND HIS WIFE.

Here lays John, with Mary his bride,

They liv'd and they laugh'd while they was able,
And at last was oblig❜d to knock under the table..

FROM CAMDEN.

Here lyeth RICHARD A PREENE,

One thousand, five hundred, eighty-nine,
Of March the xx day:

And he that will die after him may.

ON A VIRTUOUS WIFE.

Stop, passenger, until my life you've read ;
The living may get knowledge by the dead:
Five times five years I liv'd a virgin life;
Ten times five years I was a virtuous wife;
Ten times five years I liv'd a widow chaste;
Now, tir'd of this mortal life, I rest.

IN ANTWERP CATHEDRAL.

I was what I am not. I am what I was not.
What I am thou shalt be.

Spain gave me birth:
Italy determined my fortune. Here I lie buried.
RODERIGO NUNEZ DE PALMA, 1597.

IN ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.

In memoriam HENRICI CROFT, equitis aurati, exploratoris in Hiberniâ generalis, qui obit in anno 1609.

Six lines this image shall delineate:—

High CROFT, high borne, in spirit and virtue high,
Approv'd, belov'd, a knight, stout Mars his mate,
Love's fire, war's flame, in heart, head, hand, and eye;
Which flame war's comet, grace, now so refines,
That, fix'd in Heaven, in Heaven and Earth it shines.
Prosopopeia.

The womb and tomb, in name, be not so near
As life to death, and birth is to the bier:
Oh, then, how soon to bier are captains brought,
That know to live, and die now with a thought!
Then, captains, stay and read,-still think on me;
For, with a thought, what I am you may be.

As Mars near Mors doth sound,

So Mors near Mars is found.

AT VENICE.

JOANNI MAGIO.

Puero incomparabili,
Qui, ob imperitiam obstetricis,
Ex utero statim translatus
Est ad tumulum, die 21 Decemb.

MDXXXII.

Translation.

To the memory of JOHN MAGHI,
An incomparable boy,
Who, through the unskilfulness of the midwife,
on the 21st day of December, 1532,
was translated from the womb to the tomb.

IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY.

Nature and art in CHALONER combin'd,
And, for his country, form'd the patriot's mind.
With praise deserv'd his public posts he fill'd;
And equal fame his learned labours yield.
While yet he liv'd, he liv'd his country's pride,
And first his country injur'd when he died.

DR. WALTER Haddon,

Master of Requests to Queen Elizabeth. Sir Thomas Chaloner was a gallant soldier, able statesman, and a very learned writer, in the sixteenth century. He was born about the year 1515, and died on the 7th of October, 1565.

IN ST. AGNELLO, NAPLES.

Dear Father, receive this monument as a small acknowledgment for all the valuable favours received from you. Had it been possible for me to have transformed myself into a marble, you would have had no other tomb than my body, nor any other epitaph than this: "The grateful Alexis returns his father the being he received from him, and becomes his parent's sepulchre."

IN THE GRAND HOSPITAL AT ROME.
Hic jacet JUDOCUE,

Qui fuit Romæ coquus,

Doctor in partibus, magister in artibus,
De gratia speciali mortuus in hospitali.

IN THE VILLA OF THE NOBLE M.A. VOLTA, AT BONONIA.

ELIA LELIA CRISPIS, neither man, nor woman, nor hermaphrodite; nor girl, nor boy, nor old woman; nor chaste, nor a w nor modest; but all. Taken off neither by famine, nor by sword, nor by plague, nor by poison; but by all. Lying neither in heaven, nor earth, nor waters; but everywhere. LUCIUS AGATHO PRISCIUS, neither friend, nor mourning, nor rejoicing, nor weeping, knows, and is ignorant to whom he has placed this—neither mound, nor pyramid, nor sepulchre; but every one of them.

Some have interpreted this Rain-water, others the Prima Materia, Niobe, the Soul, Mercury, &c. &c. &c. ; but Gasperius Gedartius makes it out to be Love.

IN ST. MARY'S CHURCH-YARD, HEREFORD.
Here lieth old BECK, who sold fruit at the cross,
And now she's departed, we shall have a loss;
She was a good wife, and a kind loving mother,
And, all things consider'd, we've scarce such another.
