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. An Extempore Invitation to the Earl of Oxford, Lord High Treasurer
2. To the Author of the Foregoing Pastoral - (Love and Friendship)
3. Written in an Ovid
4. Upon This Passage In Scaligeriana
5. An Ode - Presented to the King, on His Majesty's Arrival in Holland, after the Queen's Death
