¶ Vpon a spare Patron.

This Man lies here, to say what name he had, Or to expresse't would make a Poet mad: For once a Poet offred him a labour, Which he would hardly reade, or vouchsafe fauour, To giue the Author one bare smile, or sooth The Poets good meaning: to be briefe, his tooth Was poysoned: for th' occasion of his death, It first proceeded from his stinking breath; Which did corrupt his lungs: this has beene tride To be the cause whereof this Patron dide. May he rest yet in peace the Poet prayes, Who though contemn'd, yet crownes his Tombe with bayes.
