'TO THE READER / If teares of Friends may be a Pollincture / To make my dust to after times endure / Or Hearts of Men are Tombs, and a good name / Make's Epitaphs and Pyramids of Fame / What mean's this Pile. It stands if Thou maist see / Time's hand now Jogs ye Glasse that runs for thee /. Perfect thy loose Accounts and Coppy mine / Thy few surviving dayes soe shall me Joyne / In triumph over Death and Time and bee / Most happy Comforts of Eternite / H. Vale'.
