Стр. 389 - Fear not to touch the best; The truth shall be thy warrant Go, since I needs must die, And give the world the lie.

Стр. lxxii - tis my John-a-Combe." But the sharpness of the satire is said to have stung the man so severely, that he never forgave it. He died in the fifty-third year of his age, and was buried on the north side of the chancel, in the great church at Stratford, where a monument is placed in the wall.
