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.

2. An Ode - Presented to the King, on His Majesty's Arrival in Holland, after the Queen's Death
3. An Extempore Invitation to the Earl of Oxford, Lord High Treasurer
4. Partial Fame
5. Upon This Passage In Scaligeriana
