An Epitaph upon a child

Virgins promis’d when I dy’d,

That they wo’d each Primrose-tide,

Duely, Morne and Ev’ning, come,

And with flowers dresse my Tomb.

Having promis’d, pay your debts,

Maids, and here strew Violets.

Upon Scobble. Epig.

Scobble for Whoredome whips his wife; and cryes

He’ll slit her nose; But blubb’ring, she replyes,

Good Sir, make no more cuts i’th’outward skin,

One slit’s enough to let Adultry in.

Upon Glasco. Epig.

Glasco had none, but now some teeth has got;

Which though they furre, will neither ake, or rot.

Six teeth he has, whereof twice two are known

Made of a Haft, that was a Mutton-bone.

Which not for use, but meerly for the sight,

He weares all day, and drawes those teeth at night.
