[An EPITAPH on an honest Citizen,
and true Friend to all Claret-drinkers.]
A. 4. Voc.
[ 45] 〈♫〉〈♫〉 HEre lieth Symon cold as Clay, who whil'st he liv'd, cry'd, who whil'st he liv'd, cry'd, Tip away; and when
〈♫〉〈♫〉 Death puts out his Taper, he needeth no touch, he needeth no Touch up╌on a Paper. Now let him rest, since
〈♫〉〈♫〉 he is dead, and asks not for a bit, and asks not for a bit of Bread, before he dy'd, and that is
〈♫〉〈♫〉 much, for Death gave him, for Death gave him a Racey Touch.
Now although this same EPITAPH was long since given,Yet Symon's not dead, no more than any Man living.
