EPITAPHES ON THE MONUMENT OF SIR WILLIAM STRODE

121

Tread soft, for if you wake this Knight alone,
You raise an Hoast: Religions Champion,
His Cuntreys Staffe, Rights bold Distributer,
His Neighbours Guard, the Poor mans Almoner,
Who dyes with Works about him, as did He,
Shall rise attended thus triumphantly.
