Alas! alas! Will Scrivenor’s
dead, who by his art,
Could make death’s skeleton edible
in each part,
Mourn, squeamish stomachs, and ye curious
palates,
You’ve lost your dainty dishes and
your salades;
Mourn for yourselves, but not for him
i’th’ least
He’s gone to taste of a more heav’nly
feast.
At Whitchingham Magna, in the same county, is the following epitaph to Thomas Alleyne, gent. who died Feb. 3, 1650, and his two wives:—
Death here advantage hath of life I spye,
One husband with two wives at once may
lye.
