An Aprill Shower Shed in abundance of Teares, For the Death and Incomparable Losse, of the Right Noble, Truly Religious, and Virtuous, Richard Sacvile, Baron of Buckhurst, and Earle of Dorset. Who Departed this Life upon Easter day last, being the 28th of March, at Dorset-House. By Henry Peacham |

His Monument to the Reader.
VVho thinkes that Dorset lyes InterredHere-vnder, thinke that they haue erred
For 'tis not hee, 'tis but the Case
Wherein this precious Iewell was,
Who seekes for him must aske of Fame,
Who registers his Honour'd name;
Or search the Hearts of Friends, where hee
Is lodg'd, and liuing like to bee:
And if not heere, to Heauen ascend,
There sure hee liues world without end.
For though with mee his dust doth lie,
Beleeue it, Dorset cannot Die.
