CXL.

_Aedificatis sepulchra Prophetarum._ Matt. xxiii. 29.

Sanctorum in tumulis quid vult labor ille colendis?

Sanctorum mortem non sinit ille mori.

Vane, Prophetarum quot ponis saxa sepulchris,

Tot testes lapidum, queis periere, facis.

_Ye build the sepulchres of the Prophets._

Thou trim'st a Prophet's tombe, and dost bequeath

The life thou took'st from him unto his death.

Vain man! the stones that on his tombe doe lye

Keepe but the score[77] of them that made him dye. CR.
