A FUNERAL ELEGIE VPON THE Death of the Right Honourable most religious and noble Lady FRANCES Late Countesse of WARVVICK who departed this life at her house in HACKNEY neere unto LONDON In the Moneth of June last past 1634. By HENRIE PEACHAM Et festinantes sequimur LONDON Printed by I. H. for Francis Constable 1634. Ad Lectorem Aspice ut hoc clypeo bini jungantur in uno Quos Amor at que tori junxerat una Fides Sic fato functi terra tumulantur in una Et simul aethereo gaudet uterque Polo TO THE TRVLY HONOVRABLE Sir IOHN WRAY Knight and Baronet Sir CHRISTOPHER WRAY Knight and Master EDWARD WRAY Esquire Right Noble and Worthy Gentle-men I Have presumed the first to bewaile in publike the death of the much honoured but more lamented Lady the Countesse of WARWICK your deceased A●nt so re●owmed and beloved for her Pi●tie and Goodnesse that shee needeth no Memoriall at all and in truth Fame profiteth not the dead as a Poet saith But in regard she hath beene so faire a President for Posteritie to imitate and that my selfe have beene much bounden unto hee for her Honourable respect ever towards mee I could not mourne to my selfe beside moved to the contrarie by a particular occasion Some few yeares agoe her Honour sent unto me and requested mine advice far the erecting of a Monument in SNARFORD Church for her selfe according to the convenience of the place I drew the Modell of one and presented her Honour with the same adding as was her desire a plaine but short and proper Inscription leaving underneath a space for an Epitaph there to be inserted after her death that might containe some dozen lines or more which if I should out-live her it pleased her Honour to impose upon me to performe I promised her I would though out of the naturall goodnesse and sweet humilitie of her minde she never affected praise or applause either in life or after her death for any good de●● that ever shee did So that since herein I could not ●●●forme my promise her Honours minde for the disposing of her corps at the time of her death for some reasons perhaps knowne unto her 〈◊〉 being altered I tooke mine owne time and ●●●entured as drawing the C●rtaine from an excellent Picture to shew her to the beholder at the full and in a faire light Wherefore at my little leasure would serve it spare houres shortly after her death being employed in a toilsome calling I composed this small Poem which under the protection of your names who are so much beloved and honoured in Lincolnshire moreover Brethren her Nephewes and Exequ●tors to her last Will and Testament I consecrate to her eternall Memorie and offering for her sake the same in all dutifull affection unto your Patronage I take leave Yours devoted in all observance Henrie Peacham The Epistle to the Reader REader whosoever hold me excused that upon so excellent a Subject I have wrought so inartificially and like that Brick-layer of Antwerp because he could set stones in Mortar undertooke to set Diamonds in Gold True it is there are some persons of that transcendent worth and desert that all indifferent praise falleth short of them as there have beene some men beyond imitation for their excellencie in their severall Faculties and though this regard onely might have enjoyned mee Silence beside the disesteeme of Poetrie in this latter age of the world wherein to scorne learning and to know nothing are accounted Gentlemanlike qualities yet seeing living Examples of Vertue are so few and rare appearing but here and there one in a whole Countrey like starres in a mistie or dark night and that I knew not how to require the many favors I formerly received from her Honour beside the friendly respect I have found from the most and neerest allied in bloud unto Her I have adventured once againe with ORPHEUS to raise up EURIDICE my dead and forgotten Muse to review the light it being now eleven yeares since I published any thing in this Elegiack kinde which then was an April SHOWER upon the death of that truly Noble and verie learned Lord Richard Earle of Dorset and soone after upon the too untimely decease of the most vertuous and hopefull young Lady FRANCES daughter to Sir WILLIAM WRAY Knight and sometime wife unto that worthy and generous Knight Sir ANTHONIE IRBIE of Boston who lyeth buried at ASHBIE where the Lady WRAY her Mother a religious charitable and bountifull Lady at this time liveth And whereas in this Elegie of mine by a Parergicall digression I make mention for the Honour of the Shire of many brave and excellent spirits it hath bred I have not done it without example of the best approved Poets And as 〈◊〉 saith of Germanie so I may say of this Shire that it is Hominum 〈◊〉 a shop of men where they may bee found serviceable either for affaires of Peace or Warre besides a Discour●e which I had with a verie Honourable and a learned Personage at his table concerning this Subject gave some occasion thereof For this Noble Lady deceased if I have falne short of the just report of her worth and have not shewed her with that lustre and life I ought and is she deserved I crave pardon of those who know her best and from whom I should have received information for doubtlesse her charitable deeds were great and many but those who were neerest about her after her death being disp●●sed and far off I have in a manner altogether out of my knowledge collected the substance of what I have written imitating those Painters who when they cannot get the life are faine for the grosser lights and shadowes to be beholding to their memories Farewell Epitaphium Verè piissimae ac illustrissimae Heroinae D.
