YE learned Sisters which mount Helicon And high Parnassus cragges vnneth to scale Your best beloued seats in times begone Haue enterchanged for that lowly dale Amid'st the which sweet CAME doth softly slide Willing may seeme longer with you to bide And with his BRIDGE doth couple what his streames diuide So may you neuer of your change repent Or thinke to change againe for other place So may the rigor of the Heauens relent Which on your mansions faire with frowning face Hath look't too long and this contagious ill Be soone remoou'd and farre kept from them still So may your numbrous nurselings all your houses fill So lastly may our PHOEBVS deigne to see And with his gracious sight those Temples blesse And consecrate them with his Maiestie The highest pitch of all their happinesse No lesse than those your other deare delight Which by the FOORD of OVSE are stately pight And since that day do rise and threaten heauens height As ye vouchsafe to lend your willing eare And condescend to Sheepheard swaines request If yet the same but equall shall appeare And to your selues may worke no great vnrest Scarse may though needs it must his suite be tolde O griefe who seeks the cause of griefe t'vnfolde And double griefe which doth from remedy withholde Lewknor alas is dead that worthy Knight And follow'd his good Lady dead before And both within a day Helpe vs to dight Their herses with your plaints and if no more Helpe with your teares our common losse bewaile Your teares are left if other power do faile And fellowship is ease though griefe do nought auaile If of this paire one from his tender yeeres Was wholly yours denoted heart and will Nor that alone but of his equall peeres Few might in all your arts surpasse his skill If in your Court he did sometimes defend No vulgar place O you that wont to lend Your teares to others losse some on your owne exspend You shall not mourne alone the State hath lost A Senatour of many Parliaments The Church may well account her losse is most Of such a sonne The Countrey sad laments A wise and vpright Iusticer The poore A worthy house keeper O if no more Ye feele your owne yet others domage helpe deplore And if how much he in your gifts surpast So much the Graces sweet his Lady graced A right Susanna vertuous faire and chast A lilly bright though now by death effaced If both in euery part of vertue were A matchlesse match a paire without compeare For Vertues sake weepe while ye may not weepe a teare Whereto serues all your skill if not for this To blazon farre and wide well purchasd praise And register to all posterities In honors iust records what might vpraise A caytiue courage vnto faire pretence And teach a gentle Spirit flie from hence To highest heauen Loe heere your arts chiefe excellence Liuing and dead your faculty is debt To good desert which payd in life may haue Malignity perhaps thereat to fret Not so in death No enuy lets the graue Discharge this debt with safety euery deale And let eternall Fame the acquittance seale The world be witnesse vnto whom ye may appeale Besides O let me tell you otherwise Ye owe this duty to that worthy paire Sith first from you the danger did arise Which wrought their death That harme ye ought repaire So might it be repair'd O that it might Butah for life the recompence is light To waile the dead or verses in their praise endight Pardon my griefe if ought my tongue haue strayd Dread Ladies well I wot vnguilty all Ye beene of blame heerein It was misse-sayd No greater sorow mought your selues befall But this is true from that vnhappy place Whose late infection did your nurselings chase To diuers parts this mischiefe came Thus was the case Two sonnes they had Ah now no longer they This worthy paire were hanging on your brest Their chiefest ioy and care when they heard say Contagious Agues did begin t'infest The place whereas ye dwell Not fear'd in vaine As since the sad euent hath shew'd it plaine And such before the Pestilence are wont to raigne Nature and Reason bad them seeke to shend From danger those their hopes They send straightway To fetch them home Their Father had a friend Of well-approued faith full many a day Whose sonne in equall danger with his owne He could not leaue but sent all vnbeknowen His Father for him to Hence hath this sorow growen O weake and feeble wit of mortall wight Which wor'st not what to take and what refuse Chusing the worst thou ween'st to hit the right And leauest the best which wisdome were to chuse As now this worthy knight he would set free His owne from harme and saue from ieopardie His friends also but all his care turnes contrary Not many dayes but sicke began to fall This youth I told in kindnesse brought away Before I should haue told you first of all His fearelesse Father which mislik't his stay From you as losse of time had thought againe Haue sent him backe The knight needs would retaine Him with his sonnes which turn'd himselfe and them to paine But now his father gan most instantly Request he might remoue him home from thence It was within a mile or two thereby Scarse might he speake so much without offence But heard straight way And set you then so light Your only sonne as that regardlesse
