EPITAPH ON MR. CHESTER, OF CHICHELEY, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Tears flow, and cease not, where the good man lies
Last Line: As husband, parent, brother, master, friend.


TEARS flow, and cease not, where the good man lies,
Till all who know him follow to the skies.
Tears therefore fall where CHESTER'S ashes sleep;
Him wife, friends, brothers, children, servants, weep;
And justly--few shall ever him transcend
As husband, parent, brother, master, friend.
