[Mr. Collier found this Epitaph, with Marlowes name attached, on the back of thetitle-page of a copy of the 1629 edition of Hero and Leander. Sir Roger Manwood wasborn at Sandwich in 1525, and may have been an early Kentish acquaintance ofMarlowes. He was appointed Chief Baron of the Exchequer in 1578, and diedDecember 14th, 1592.

First, you must be proud, and think you have merit enough
