¶ An Epitaph on the death of Queene Iane.
YF dart of death might be repeld, by fame of verteous life:And fatall Sisters would with hold, the blade of bloody knife:
From cruell cut of vitall lyne, to spare the worthie wight:This noble Queene shoulde not haue felt, the rancor of theyr spyght.
But sith in exorable they, for euer will remayne:The body though they cause to couch, good fame they cannot stayne.
The valiant men, the verteous dames, that on the earth hath raygndeHaue yelded to their cursed knyfe, yet endles fame hath gaynd.
They haue subdude stowte Caesars hart, they forcde not Helens hewe:Of Cressus wealth they no whit carde they ioye all to subdue.
descriptionPage [unnumbered]
And eke among the rest that hath sustaynde their cancred hate:This noble Queene hath felt the flame of her vntymely fate.
Whose worthie fame shall not be shutt with bodye in the claye:But lyue and florishe on the earth whyle Phebus guydes the daye.
