11. Sr Ph. Sydney's Epitaph.
Deepe lamenting losse of treasure,
Showed tormentinge without measure;
Wisdome waylinge, honor cryinge,
Vertue weeping and loue dyinge;
All together doe betoken
Greater greife then can be spoken.
Showed tormentinge without measure;
Wisdome waylinge, honor cryinge,
Vertue weeping and loue dyinge;
All together doe betoken
Greater greife then can be spoken.
Losse of wealth may be recouered,
Deadlie perill soone discouered;
Mortall woundes may be endurèd,
And the deepest may be curèd;
But my hope of helpe is none
For both loue, and life, is gone.
Deadlie perill soone discouered;
Mortall woundes may be endurèd,
And the deepest may be curèd;
But my hope of helpe is none
For both loue, and life, is gone.
When I lyvèd, then I lovèd,
But my loue from life remouèd;
And dispaire discomfort givinge,
What is this but dyinge lyving?
Dying deathe a sorrow suche,
Neuer creature knewe so muche.
But my loue from life remouèd;
And dispaire discomfort givinge,
What is this but dyinge lyving?
Dying deathe a sorrow suche,
Neuer creature knewe so muche.
Reasons sence and learninges sweetinge
Where the muses had theire meetinge
Nature's grace and honors glory,
Of the worlde the wofull storye;
That with bitter teares be redd
Sweete Sr Phillipp Sydney dead.

Dead? oh no, in heavne he liueth
Whom the heavnes suche honor giueth;
That thoughe heere his bodie lye
Yitt his sowle shall neuer dye;
But as fame can perish neuer,
So his faith shall liue for euer.
Whom the heavnes suche honor giueth;
That thoughe heere his bodie lye

But as fame can perish neuer,
So his faith shall liue for euer.
Finis.
