MY sorrow doth suppresse my memorie, My griefe eke grieves my hart, and all my powres, My teares do pierce my pa- per thorowlie, My Muse me failes, my wo my wit devoures, So as amasd I sit devoid of might, In verse, or prose, my meaning to indight. Of princely jewels, precious are the price, Of gold the gaine who wisheth not to have, Of house and land, and all by land that rise, Of all for life, who seeketh not to save: But when I weigh the depth of mine intent, A Price to prayse, I cannot but lament. A Price for gentle bloud, of price he was, A Price well taught in youth to live in age, A Price so fraught with vertues that surpasse, A Price though yong in yeeres, in wisedom sage: A precious Price, as Wales did ever yeeld, A Price of peace in towne, yet fierce in field. His vertues rare, his wisedom so profound. His learned skill, his curtesie so seene,
His bountie great in house did so abound, His travell such for Countrey, and for Queene, Made him beloved, and for his friendship fast, So famously, as evermore shall last. He lived no doubt with well contented mind, He lived upright, just both in word and deed, He lived a subject true, as man may find, He lived to God a child of Abrahams seed: He lived to die, content to leave each frend, He died to live in joy, that shall not end. His wofull wife may chiefly waile his want, His servants next have greatest cause to grieve, His countrey then (sith such as he be scant) His friends each one may sorow whilest they live: Among the which a greater losse had none, Then I my selfe, that causlesse do not mone. Oh God graunt us thy grace, and daily aide, Oh God put feare and love into our hart, Oh God to sinne make us full sore afraid, Oh God thy love from us do not divart: Thou that from us our peerelesse Price hast reft, Be our defence, that heere behind are left.
