SAd Prodigy! Can famous valiant Grey Thus silently slide to his bed of Clay? Returne our sorrows, sigh we forth a Verse, May deck the Pomp, and mournings of his Herse. But twere detraction to suppose a Teare, A Sigh, or Blacks, which the sad Mourners weare, Our losse could value: He that names but thee, Must bring an Eye, that can weepe Elegie: Who in his face must weare a Funerall, Clouded with griefe for thy untimely fall. What ill aspected Planet then did lowre? Which then transcendent in that fatall houre? The splendent Sunne could not looke on and shine, Buts clouded, whiles thy glory did decline. Hath irefull Mars his spightfull influence bent Gainst his owne sonne? Hes still malevolent. Thy part thast acted well; but Tragedie Ill provd; having a sad Catastrophe. Thy sable Curtaine was too soon orespread, Even at thy noone to bring thee to thy bed. Unlucky hand, and heart with fury fird, Which passage made whereby thy soule expird. Yet we applaud the wisdome of thy fate, Which knew to value thee at such a rate, That for thy fall an Hecatombe it cost, And Mynne was offered to appease thy ghost. Thou needst no gilded Tombe, whereon tengrave, The name of worthy Grey, which thou shalt have, So long as Gloucster shall that name retaine, Besieged erst by Brittaines Charlemaigne. Thy conquering Arme made thy stout foe to yeeld; Thy Sword had wonne the Trophies in the field. Thy Coate speaks thy high birth, but thine own praise Colonell Mynne slaine the same day.
Shall crowne thine Armes with never-fading Bayes. See the Argent-Lyon which hath Rampant stood, Now Couchant lie in Field of Gules and Blood. The Crescent Or, Greys second House doth marke, Of famous ancestry the House of Werke: But now decrescent is, its Ors orespread With Colour Sable, Or is turnd to Lead. Farewell heroicke spirit, who art to be Of publique sorrow the epitome; All sigh forth grones, meethinkes the Coats of Blew Are strangely changed into a Sable hew. But sorrow stops me, and my griefes undrest, And rude in language Ile sigh out the rest. J.A. EDWARD GREY, Major. Anagrams III I.
