haec tumulo Vita per acta pie mortem est sortita beatam Exijt ad certum men s reditura diem O foelix nimium quae sic sua saecla peregit Ter foelix cui dij dant ita posse mori A sufficient defence and reasonable excuse concerning the mischaunce that hapned at Leaden Hall after the funerall of the worshipfull Lady Mary Ramsey so solemnized VVHo can withstand mishaps that daylie seeme to fall Or be against that God doth send Not any man at all Things inexpected chaunce and chaunces they haue change And sudden miseuents doe grow like wonders very strange But whatsoeuer haps Thereto I doe reply It falleth out but for our sinnes A scourge from God on hye Then let vs not impute or conster things amisse But thinke I say and deeme no more but iustlie as it is The goodwill of the dead that gaue this bounteous doale Bequeathed it vnto the helpe of manie a Christians Soule Bequeathed it for good of widowes in distresse The halte the blinde the sicklie man the poore and fatherlesse The executers eke performed but the will Of that sweete Lady dead and gone and for no further ill And as for those that were in that case put in trust To deale the doale it was their minde to deale it well and iust If then ●●srulie folke would not well gouernd be The fault was theirs and no mans else that could not this foresee Let vs not censure then to talke that is not true But iudge and say in euery poynt as I haue said to you And let the fault rest there by whome the fault befell And iudging so you iudge but right and censure very well For they that headlong runne and will not be fore warnd Their headlesse care was that default which made them to beharmd Examples there haue beene like vnto this before 〈◊〉 let mischaunce excuse mishap what can be spoken more In obitum Dominae Mariae Ramsei Ni Boormanni Longaeuum et vltimum vale SWeete Ramsey now my last farewel I take Though simple be my verse or mournefull rime For what I writ before was for thy sake So farforth as I respit had by time And more then that the minde I bare to thee Was that thou shouldst not cleane forgotten be But had I writ or spoake few words or none Deserued deedes would haue obtain'd their hire And therefore though thy earthly corps be gone I trust thy soule doth to the heauens aspire Where resting thou shalt euermore remaine Amongst Gods flocke in Glory for to raigne Where earthly change shall reape eternall blis Where downefall of thy mortall state or stay Shall ioy enioy that neuer vading is Where thou shalt liue for euer and for aye Vnto which place although thy dayes be done I pray that all thy good friends they may come And thus in briefe I giue thee leaue to sleepe While I take leaue for writing as before Yet for thy sake reserued thoughts I le keepe Within my hart to rest for euermote That when by chaunce I heare some speake of thee Though I speake least thou maist remembred be Nascimur è terra adterr amque reuertimur omnes Terra sumus nobis maxima terra parens Terra tegit quam terra tulit suamembr a reposcit Quae dederat tellus non aliena petit Chara vale lux clara vale tuasunera fleui Prae lachrymis nequeo scribere plura vale Short Epigrams touching the mortallitie of man EArth of the earth must to the earth from whence at first it came Such is the earthly naturall state of euery earthly man Another ADams earthly fall incurde displeasure to damnation But Christ his death subdued sinne to bring vs to saluation Dye then from Adam for to liue with God thy onely maker So shalt thou in the booke of life with him be full pertaker Another MAns earthly state is but a pompe which speedy time deuours Compared to a winters blast which nips the fairest flowers Another NOthing at all can be so swift as swiftnesse of the time To day aliue to morrow dead and couered in thy shrine Thinke then on earthly time that fleetes which no man once can stay For I and thou thou I and he haue euery man his day Another TYdes haue their spaciat time to ebbe to rise and for to flow Yet neuer a swelling flood so hye but hath his fall as low Young springs resemble youthfulnesse the florishing time of man Which with the ebbe shall haue his fall let him do what he can Another THe sturdiest Oake of any Oake hath but his time to grow And yet at last in tract of time receiues his ouerthrow So be a man strong tall or stout his hold is most vnsure And cannot longer then his time By tract of time indure Another THe clockes do strike the houres tunne on the Sunne eclipsed stands Yet all let vs be sure of this rests in our makers han des Conclude we then our certaintie is brickell and vnsure And by it selfe hath neither space nor warrant to indure And say we thus to day a man and not a man to morrow For longer life then God doth lend neither King nor Lord can borrow The Lenuoy THe highest tree is seldome times most sure The swelling floods yeeld ebbes that drench ful low Nothing so firme that alwaies can indure The tydes through time weare out their times we know The Sunne eclips'd the Moone berest of light The day surpris'd the night abandond quight Houres dayes and yeeres runne out their course at last The candell bright hath his extinct in time None can recall swift time when time is past What bootes it then for worldly pompe to clime The watch forwarnes when as the clocke will strike The cock and clocke are watches both alike The fairest day assures his glowning houre The Sunshine bright is couered oft with shade Mans haruest is compared to a flower That vnawares dothperish waste and vade And whose pride past beares but a withered hew And bendes and biddes the Gardner then adew Our life a lampe that for a time burnes bright Our life a spanne when it is at the best Our life assur'd of neither day nor night our life a smoake and vnassured rest Our life our state our stay and vitallbreath Subiect vnto the sudden call of death The youngest lambe goes with the eldest sheepe Which vnawares the slaughterer takes from foalde Neither young nor old their dayes of reconing keepe How long to feede or how soone to be sould Their haps do chaunce as do the gamsters play And so is ours that once must haue a day Who therefore reades this preamble set downe Let him bethinke what as the meaning is And make suppose that if the fates doe frowne Man is recalde soone from his earthly blis For health and wealth his glorie and his ease Are at commaund when as the Lord doth please FINIS
