Elle's spritespeaks.
Then let us all do jointly reverence here,
The best of men and bishops here do stand,
Who are God's shepherds and do take good care
Of the good sheep He putteth in their hand;
Not one is lost, but all in well-likande
Await to hear the General Bishop's call,
When Michael's trump shall sound to inmost land,
Affright the wicked, and awaken all;
Then Canynge rises to eternal rest,
And finds he chose on earth a life the best.
