CArez & complaints that ruful moornings may purport, Proceding from a minde with woez opprest: A heavy hart dooun sunk within the brest, A damped coountenauns devoid of all comfort, May best beseem the state of woful wight: And so may sorroz smart, us rightfully compell With sighs profoound bewail in careful plight, The late deceas of him whooz honor did excell, HENRI that nobl Prins the EARL of ARUNDELL. Born & allyed in Line long & Heroicall, Coomly in foorm of featurez & personage, Matched in hy & equall mariage, Parent to one woorthy Lord & Ladyz twoo, withall: For the rare bloomz of tru Nobilitee That first oout budded in hiz tender spring, The Earl hiz Father yet alive, & hee But Lord Mautravers: Oour late most famoous King Of Callis too him gave the trust & gooverning. The weighty charge whearof when he had underfong, He ransakld the orderz olld & nu, The good he held in execution du, The bad he brake, and ay by Justis righted wrong: With the fine French he tempred in such sort Az for hiz Proowes great & Pollecyz agen, For Fame to Prins & safety to the Fort, Both far & neer it waz pronoounced of all men. That Callis never had like Capitain az then. Oour King him made upon this five yeerz nobl say, At Bullen seege by Marshall of hiz host: Wheraz hiz peinz his daungerz with the most, Hiz valiauns by hart & hand waz prompt allway. And though a molehil to a moount be small, For certein truth yet this the writer bringz to minde, Whoo served him thear at theez most actionz all: And for the grace enteer that ever he did finde, May most deplore hiz death, but honor all his kinde. The Prins benign anon soon az the tooun he wan. For servis hy doon by this noble Peer Chaz him too be one of hiz Coounsel neer, Lord Chamberlain allso: which Honorz after than King Edward gave him: but Queen Mary made, Him Prezident of Coounsel and Lord Stuard too be: Of our Queen eak that dignitee he hade. So az a thing it iz right evident to se, In hoow great grace With all hiz Sooverainz waz he. The higher karged ship, and deepar it dooth draw, The daunger more of storm of rok & land, And blasts may blo that no state can withstand. At anker holld of Fortitude when roze a flaw, He lay, with honor till he cam to port. And az he thought none praized vertu az they ow, Onles their deedz tru vertu did reaport, He surely for hiz part, commended vertu so, Az waz hiz Embleam, LAUS VIRTUTIS ACTIO.

For woorthy pleazurz ells: hiz Hors & Armour sitch, Hiz skil profoound in both, his solem Queer By vois & Instruments so sweet to heer, Hiz Jewelz, Antiquiteez, so many rare & ritch, Hiz Tablz, Cloks, & his symmetricall Billdingz, so sumptuoously adoournd in every part: For eend, his exquizit appointments all So excellent for cost, for by devise & art, Az might be signz certain of hiz so nobl hart. For servis then, for honor, or for hiz Princez pleazure, Hoow mooch joyd he thear too be liberall? Of hart synceer toward the Noblz all, Too State of life he made his Birth degree his meazure, Ootherz merit small, mooch he wolld avauns Boounteous, benign, releeving many greevous gronez, In freendship firm for ony chaunge or chauns. But ah for wo: deaf death not moovabl by monez, All theez hiz shining lights quite quenched hath at onez. Obscuring orgulioously by dark & deadly blast, The lustr of Jewell, the more inestimabl, Az iz the loss so far irreperabl: An Earl, a Peer, a Prins, the only & the last Of that so by FITZALLENZ name & blood, But why so sharp O Memory doost thoou declare Theez groundz of greevez? more meet wear for thy mood Sum Opium for sleep or ells white Nenuphare, A sooup of Lethes lake for to forget thy care. But noow, as wants a cheef one amoong the States hy, So Nobl youth, & all of gentl hart: The Herallds sage, the wize & learnd in Art, This forlorn skath alas bewail may rufully And thoou infaust day, dismoll, bisextill, Not hallf by Charlsez birth & coronation sight So good, az too the Earl of Flaunders ill And too French Frauncis eak. O cruell in thy spight Wo woorth the tune that noow so soon thee camst too light. But sins that, heavy sprite dooth freat the minde to nought, Driez up the bonez & gallz the hart so sore, Healps not the case (God wot) a whit the more, By wizdoom then bethink we, heerin as we ought, First that this Peer (hoowever wear the case) With loove of all Estatz in harts sinceer enrolld, In honor pure did run hiz nobl rase, Then saw his Childerz Children (a crooun to hiz yeerz olld, Az Graundsire (to their glory) eak him they did behold. Whoo wear so vertuous all of minde & inclination As God took them, the sooner to be blest: Yet heer left one to coountervail the rest, Of whooz encreasing honor such iz the expectation That in A vitall State & Dignitee Az he succeedz & luckily enjoyz the same. So hope iz that through Gods benignitee: By him shall glister long in honor & in fame, The bright shine of that magnific ARUNDELLI name. Prov. 17. Prov. Ibidem.

Bethink we eak hoow well he dispozed thingz eachon, What tender woords our Queen untoo him sent: Wherat his hart did earn, hiz eiz relent, Reizd up hiz febl Sprite, that then by him anon Intoo the Lords handz recommended is. In fame & in Succession sins heer he liveth ay, In Soul allso too everlasting blis Let us by solas suppl oour sorroz az we may, And hope in Christe to have a joyful meeting day,
