TO HIS WORSHIPFULL WEL-WILLER, MAISTER EDWARD LEIGH by RICHARD BARNFIELD

First Line: IMAGE OF THAT, WHOSE LOSSE IS HERE LAMENTED
Last Line: THEN WILL I SWEARE, THAT SHEE IS DEAD INDEED.
Subject(s): WORSHIP; LAMENT;

Image of that, whose losse is here lamented;
(In whom, so many vertues are contained)
Daine to accept, what I have now presented.
Though Bounties death, herein be only fained,
If in your mind, she not revive (with speed)
Then will I sweare, that shee is dead indeed.
