The triumphs ouer death: or, A consolatorie epistle, for afflicted mindes, in the affects of dying friends. First written for the consolation of one: but now published for the generall good of all, by R.S. the author of S. Peters complaint, and Mœoniæ his other hymnes

R Reade with regarde, what here with due regarde, O Our second Ciceronian Southwell sent, B By whose perswasiue pithy argument, E Ech well disposed eie may be preparde, R Respectiuely their griefe for friends decease T To moderate without all vaine excesse.

S Sith then the worke is worthie of your view, O Obtract not him which for your good it pend: V Vnkinde you are if you it reprehend, T That for your profit is presented you, H He pend, I publish this to pleasure all, E Esteeme of both then as we merite shall: W Wey his workes woorth, accept of my goodwill, E Else is his labour lost, mine crost, both to no end: L Lest then you ill des••rue what both intend, L Let my goodwill all small defects fulfill: He here his talent trebled doth present, I, my poore mite, y••t both with good intent, Then take them kindly both, as we them ment.

Iohn Trussell.
