Poem by Matthew Prior

Epitaph Extempore

Nobles and Heralds, by your leave,
                 Here lies what once was Matthew Prior,
The son of Adam and of Eve;
                 Can Stuart or Nassau claim higher. 

1. Seeing the Duke of Ormond's Picture, at Sir Godfrey Kneller's
2. To the Author of the Foregoing Pastoral - (Love and Friendship)
3. A Letter to Lady Margaret Cavendish Holles-Harley, When a Child
4. Cupid Mistaken
5. An Extempore Invitation to the Earl of Oxford, Lord High Treasurer
