Quam facit incertos
humani temporis annos
Addidit exemplo
mors inimica novo.
En Gulielmus erat teneris
cui nomen ab annis
Hac Saint albonus
membra sepultus humo.
Cujus non minimum
mores meruere favorem,
Regia in hoc plenus
curia testis erit.
Virtutis causa, comes
Arundellius illum
Qui summo studio
persequeretur erat.
Mitto quod assiduus
fuerat virtutis amator,
Quodque erat ex ortu
stirps generosa suo.
Membra sepulerali conduntur
frigida lecto,
Spiritus aethereis aestra
petivit equis.
William Saintalbone sleepes in rest,
Within this Marble Stone,
Whose corps in Clay, and soule well
Deserves dispraise of none.

He had such feats, so full of fruits,
So prompt with word and pen,
So skilfull in his courtly suits,
So deare a friend to men.
So ripe to rule the workes of fame,
So tempering hot and cold,
His deeds deserve that his good name
Were siphered here in gold.
