NAy, Reade, and spare not, Passenger,
My sense is now past feeling,
Who to my Grave a Wound did bear
Within, past Phisicks healing.

But do not (if thou mean to Wed)
To read my Story tarry,
Least thou Envy me this cold Bed,
Rather than live to marry.

For a long strife, with a lewd Wife
(Worst of all Ills beside)
Made me grow weary of my Life,
So I fell sick and died.
