EVen as the PYLATE traines the rest, that travaile would attayne: And by the compasse of his Carde, describes his Jorney playne: Even so the travayle of this worlde apparant seemes to bee, From Childhood first to middle state: Then finallie wee see: From crooked Age unto the House, that mortall Creatures win: Our Mother deare the Earth, of whom our Substance did begyn. Whiche full Effect considered well, as Flowers in the Field: we may conceive this outwarde man, in tract of time shall yeld, And hange the head: for as the shade that glydeth on the wall, compared with the Lillie faire, so sodaine is our fall. As here before our eyes we may prospective plainly trie, A Mirrour and a lookyng Glasse, for everie Wight to spie, In Countrey soyle, (O LECTOR deare,) of Consulshippes degree: A Lanterne bright to Justice Seate, heare playnly thou maist see Bereaved of breath: a Knight no lesse, then Worships Title clame: for Rector of the Publique weale, that GARAT had to name. From middle Age by sage advise, pursuyng Vertues lore: Whiche is the cause that doth augment, his Worship evermore. In Godlines, or sacred lyfe, his steppes, the Lorde hath blest: whose endlesse Fame reviveth still, though Corps be now supprest By Natures course. In time, unto the poore a perfect staye: maintayning Justice equallie, from everie daye to daye. A Patron of his Countrey deare intombde he hath, to name: For as the Senate graunts him right, the Commons say the same. Though then that Fate hath him assignd, his Pageant thus to play Still puttyng us in Memorie, that we shall walke that waye. There is not one, that can reprove, one Title of his right, But as he was, (even so he died:) to lyve a faithfull Knight. And gave the Onset to the flesh, and conquered hath the same: As Champian bould, by Shield of Faith, to glorie of his name.
Disdayning Earthly trade, or meane: embracing Heavenly light: Committyng to the handes of God, his inwarde man or Spright. If that as then suche noble Actes, enlarge his loyall prayse: And by accompt of just desertes, his treble Honour rayse. What rufull losse hath all the state, of Senatours degree? with whome for Counsaile grave, he was accepted wont to bee. Or els what teares may Publique weale, effuse in wofull plight? Since fatall Doome hath pluckt from them so sage & wise a Knight What double losse hath Ladie his? (that vertuous Matron grave,) Whom God had linckt to him as Spouse, for terme of lyfe to have. What losse hath Children deare, of him? what losse hath servants al? what losse hath eche that stood in neede, for Counsell his to call? What losse hath rich? what losse hath poore? what losse hath ech estate what remedie? nought helpes herein, but wayle our wofull Fate. Yet nought at all prevailes our teares, therfore to God I pray, (Sith he is gone:) the rest may walke, his redy Path and waye: And specially, his Brethren sage: that sit on Justice Seate, Their Worships hartes, the Lorde direct, unto his glorie greate. Mayntainyng justly everie cause, and plantyng Vertues right, So that therby the Common Weale, may floorish cleare and bright In happie state, most prosperouslie, great joye for to be seene: To spred her Branches in respect, as doth the Olyve greene. Graunt this O God eternally, that when this race is ronne: Their Worships may obtain the Fame that GARRAT hath begon.
FINIS. DIXI. N. BOUR. This Race presents a Pilgremage, Or Tragicall Discourse on Stage: Whiche once begon, drawes to an ende, Let Death therfore be thought on frende: And feare no whit the Campe to yelde, So longe as Fayth may be thy Shield. Imprinted at London in the upper ende of Fleetelane, by Richarde Johnes: And are to be sould at his Shop, joynyng to the Southwest Doore of sainct Paules Churche. 1571. October. 2.
