A funerall ellegie, upon the death of Mr. John Pim

Since this sheet has no image on EEBO, I should explain.

The document is a half-sheet broadside. Across the header is the image of a skeleton with laurels, resting on its side over a tomb. The frames around the whole page are pure black.

The elegaic poem is followed by an acrostic on the name "IOHN PIM," and an Epitaph.
