layd in Tombe which els had bene forgot And buried cleane in graue past mynd of man As thousans are forgot since world began Whose race was great and who for want of Tome In dust doth dwell vnknowne till day of Dome In Church there lyes a noble Knight Enclosde in wall right well Crosselegged as it seemes to sight Or as record doth tell He was of high and princely blood His Armes doth shewe the same For thereby may be vnderstood He was a man of fame A shield of blacke he beares on brest A white Crowe plaine thereon A ragged sléeue in top and crest All wrought in goodly stone And vnder feete a Greyhound lyes Thrée golden Lyons gay Nine Flowerdeluces there likewise His Armes doth full display A Lord that once enioyde that Seate Lyes there in sumptuous sort They say as loe his race was great So auncient men report His force was much for he by strength With Bull did struggle so He broke cleane off his hornes at length And therewith let him go This Lord a Bull hath vnder feete And as it may be thought A Dragon vnder head doth lye In stone full finely wrought The worke and Tombe so auncient is And of the oldest guyse My first bare view full well may mis To shewe how well he lyes A Tombe in déede of charge and showe Amid the Chappell stands Where William Thomas Knight ye knowe Lyes long with stretched hands A Harbert was he cal'd of right Who from great kindred cam And married

most rich field Behind her head is likewise there Loe what our elders did To make those famous euery where Whose vertues are not hid In Tombe as trim as that before Sir Richard Harbert lyes He was at Banbrie field of yore And through the battaile twise He past with Pollax in his hands A manly act in déede To preace among so many bands As you of him may reede Th●● valiant Knight at Colbroke dwelt Nere Aborgaynie towne Who when his fatall destnie felt And Fortune flong him downe Among his enemies lost his head A rufull tale to tell Yet buryed was as I haue said In sumptuous Tombe full well His

and of charge There lyes a Squire that Harbert hight With cost set out at large Two Daughters and sixe Sonnes also Are there set nobly forth With other workes that makes the showe And Monument more worth Himselfe his wife and children to Lyes shrouded in that Seate Now somewhat for that Squire I do Because his race was great He was the father of that Earle That dyed Lord Steward late A man of might of spréet most rare And borne to happie fate His father layd so richly here So long agoe withall Shewes to the lookers on full cleere When this to mynd they call This Squire was of an auncient race And borne of noble blood Sith that he dyed in such a cace And left such wordly good To make a Tombe so rich and braue Nay further now to say The thrée white Lyons that he gaue In Armes doth race bewray And makes them blush and hold downe browe That babble out of square Rest there and to my matter now Upon this Tombe there are Three Lyons and three white Bores heads The first thrée are his owne The white Bores heads his wife she gaue As well in Wales is knowne A Lyon at his feete doth lye At head a Dragon gréene More things who lists to search with eye On Tombe may well be seene Amid the Church Lord Hastings lay Lord Aborgaynie than And since his death remou'd away By fine deuice of man And layd within a windowe right Full flat on stonie wall Where now he doth in open sight Remaine to people all The windowe is well made and wrought A costly worke to see In which his noble Armes are thought Of purpose there to bee A ragged sléeue and sixe red Birds Is portrayd in the Glasse His wife hath there her left arme bare It seemes her sléeue it was That hangs about his necke full fine Right ore a Purple wéede A robe of that same colour too The Ladie weares in déede Under his legges a Lyon red His Armes are rare and ritch A Harrold that could shewe them well Can blase not many fitch Sire Lyons white the ground fayre blew Thrée Flowerdeluces gold The ground of them is red of hew And goodly to behold But note a greater matter now Upon his Tombe in stone Were foretéene Lords that knées did bow Unto this Lord alone Of this rare worke a porch is made The Barrons there remaine In good old stone and auncient trade To shewe all ages plaine What homage was to Hastings due What honour he did win What Armes he gaue and so to blaze What Lord had Hastings bin Right ore against this windowe loe In stone a Ladie lyes And in her hands a Hart I troe She holds before your eyes And on her breast a great fayre shield In which she beares no more But thrée great Flowerdeluces large And euen loe right ore Her head another Ladie lyes With Squirrell on her hand And at her feete in stone likewise A couching Hound doth stand They say her Squirrell lept away And toward it she run And as from fall she sought to stay The little pretie Bun Right downe from top of wall she fell And tooke her death thereby Thus what I heard I doe you tell And what is seene with eye A friend of myne who lately dyed That Doctor Lewis hight Within that Church his Tombe I spyed Well wrought and fayre to sight O Lord quoth I we all must dye No lawe nor learnings lore No iudgement déepe nor knowledge hye No riches lesse or more No office place nor calling great No worldly pompe at all Can kéepe vs from the mortall threat Of death
