Lord Edward Herbert

Epitaph on Sir Edward Saquevile’s Child, who dyed in his Birth

Reader, here lies a Child that never cry’d,
               And therefore never dy’d.
               ’Twas neither old nor yong,
Born to this and the other world in one:
               Let us them cease to mone,*
Nothing that ever dy’d hath liv’d so long.

* Moan
