A Tragicall Epitaphe on the Death of Mr. Williams and Mr. Gwinne
A Tragicall Epitaphe on the death of Mr. Williams and Mr. Gwiune; who (like two undaunted Cæsars, or vnyeelding Cockes of the game) slue each other with many grizly wounds, in single fight in the Haywood, neere the citty of Hereford; and lye buried close together in the Minster Church, there.
H EERE lye two friends who while they stood
Did thirst for one anothers blood.
Which thirst to quench, they both agreed.
That one or both their hearts should bleed:
And so, like friends (though mortal foes)
Quencht others thirst with mortall blowes
Who fighting close, in life, like fiends,
Here lye as close in death, like friends:
So they which life could ne're attone,
Now lye in death as they were one.
