EPITAPHS ON MUSICIANS AND ACTORS.

A few epitaphs relating to music and the drama now claim our attention.

Our first example is to be found in the cathedral at Norwich:--

Here WILLIAM INGLOTT, organist, doth rest,

Whose art in musick this Cathedral blest;

For descant most, for voluntary all,

He past on organ, song, and virginall.

He left this life at age of sixty-seven,

And now 'mongst angels all sings St. in Heaven;

His fame flies far, his name shall never die,

See, art and age here crown his memorie.

_Non digitis, Inglotte, tuis terrestria tangis,

Tangis nunc digitis organa celsa poli._

Anno Dom. 1621.

Buried the last day This erected the 15th
