The Anniverse.] Not quite so good as The Exequy, but not bad. The Hannah-Pickering MS. had a few variants, not worth entering here in most cases.

19 corse] This word had odd luck in a well-printed book, and a generally well-written MS., for it shows in the one as 'coarse', in the other as 'course'—both errors not infrequent at the time.

22 avails] This is the MS. reading: the book has 'avail'.

26 took] MS. 'take'.


On Two Children, dying of one disease, and buried in one grave.

Brought forth in sorrow, and bred up in care,

Two tender children here entombed are:

One place, one sire, one womb their being gave,

They had one mortal sickness, and one grave.
