Summe for thy sake rych Monuments doo frame
of marble pillars Porfry Jett and gold
Engravynge depe thy tytles in the same
worthy because such worthy lymmes they hold
And summe agayne whose love surmounts theyr skill
and of thy wytt devyne the treasures lacke
In prayse of the have cloathed with theyr quyll
the papers whyte in lynes of moornynge blacke
But thow the whyle doest us to understande
that men obscure those helpes of Honor crave
Who for thy selfe with valyante feyghtinge hande
more lardge haste carvde thy glory and thy grave
For doo the ryght thy sworde shoulde be the penn
thy noble blood the yncke whearwith to wryte
Thy monument the fylde of martyall menn
wheare lastinge tyme thy glorye should indyte.
