Underneath


Underneath this sable hearse Lies the subject of all verse; Sidney’s sister! Pembroke’s mother! Death! ere thou hast slain another, Learn’d, and fair, and good as she, Time shall throw a dart at thee. Wm. Browne.—Lansdowne MSS. Brit. Museum; but Whalley says these lines are universally assigned to Ben Jonson; and Mr. Wm. Gifford says they are by the Earl of Pembroke, without doubt.	1
Underneath this marble stone Lie two beauties join’d in one. Two whose loves death could not sever; For both liv’d, both dy’d together. Cowley.—Epitaph.	2
