Epitaph on Sir Philip Sidney lying in
St. Paul's without a Monument, to be
fastned upon the Church door.
by Edward, Lord Herbert of Chirbury
Reader,
Within this Church Sir Philip Sidney lies,
Nor is it fit that I should more acquaint,
Lest superstitions rise,
And Men adore,
Souldiers, their Martyr ; Lovers, their Saint.
