On the death of Sir EDVVARD LEVKNOR and his Ladie.

DEath came to him: she willing he should liue, Called pale Death vnto her weary bed, And wish'd her dearest husband mought suruiue, And that she might be stroken in his sted: He heard her sute; and death importuned To ceaze on him, and suffer her aliue; So ech would faine their life for other giue. Death with the choice amaz'd; at last thus sed, 'Tis pity that a paire of soules so deare Should by my fatall stroke be seuered: One would be loth to liue without his fere, One shall not be without the other dead. Ah Death; I wist not earst thou wert so witty, But call'st thou Pitty this? 'twas cruell pitty.
