Whom gentle fate translated hence
To a more happy residence.

Which from his ghost a promise is,
If here ye will some few tears shed,
He'll never haunt ye now he's dead.

645. UPON TEARS.
Tears, though they're here below the sinner's brine,
Above they are the angels' spiced wine.
646. PHYSICIANS.

And manners good require that we
The first fruits give to them, who gave
Us hands to get what here we have.
649. UPON LUCY. EPIG.
Sound teeth has Lucy, pure as pearl, and small,
With mellow lips, and luscious therewithal.
