I stand not for thy fead, or friendship eyther,
Short since thou slew my Sonne, and now my Father,
And tho my selfe thou kill, thou'lt not devoure mee:
I hope to follow them who went before mee.
Tho for a space thou soule and bodie sever,
In spyte of thee this Sainct shall liue for ever.
Whiles hee was heere, Nature and Grace contended;
Whose hee should bee, they both their forces bended.
His vertues liue, and shall, doe what thou may:
To his great glore, shall after Ages say,
Loe here intomb'd, this marble stone lyeth vnder,
Wits high Perfection, and our Ages wonder.
