An other Epitaphe of the same Budæus.
All men bewaild Budæus death,the ayre did also mone:
The brawlyng brookes eke wept, because
Budæus good was gone.
So men did waile, that euery where,
were papers printed seen
71
full fraught with teares of teene.
From ayre so dropt the rayny teares,
that shed was euery shower:
So that no drop remaynd behind,
vppon the earth to powr.
So wept the waters, that wheras
before were Barges borne:
There now might whirling wagons runne:
to dust the waues were worne.
Now heauen and earth remaines behinde,
these two alone except:
There nothyng was in all the world,
but for Budæus wept.
But sith the heauens posses his soule,
(and still posses it shall)
The earth his corps, what cause haue they,
wherefore to weepe at all?
