That, therfore, they may gather by this Theame,

That, Parity, in Life-time, fitting were.

For, as the Bodies Members (which in Death

Have all the like esteeme) had their Degrees,

And Honours, differing in time of breath;

The same (in States) Discretion comely sees.

Nor, should we hence inferre, that it were just

To disesteeme the breathlesse Carcasses

Of Kings and Princes, when they sleepe in Dust;

For, Civill-Reverence is due to these.
