He had never been conspicuous for economy in his domestic affairs; and often complained of being compelled to endure sickness aggravated by poverty. King James I. had always allowed him one hundred marks. On the accession of Charles, he addressed a petition to that prince, requesting, that as his royal father had granted him a pension of one hundred marks, he would make them pounds; and when the King sent him that sum, he is said to have composed an epigram upon him. It is, on the other hand, related, that Charles sent him only ten guineas, and that the dying poet exclaimed, "the King has sent me ten guineas because I am poor and poorly lodged, but his HEART is still more narrowly lodged." But he had a pension from the City of London, and from several of the nobility and gentry; and, particularly, from Mr. Sutton, the founder of the Charter-House. It may be presumed, either that his wants were imaginary, and his poverty ideal; or that his careless prodigality required more than common liberality to support him. In his last illness he felt severe compunction for the frequent prophanation of the scriptures in his plays.

He died on the 16th of August, 1637, and was buried in Westminster Abbey, where the singular simplicity and more than laconic brevity of his epitaph, are well known. He had many children, but none survived him.
