[Heere Lady Katherine entombed lies]

Heere Lady Katherine entombed lies,
Of Aragon and Sarmient, whose fame
Doth mount with praise vnto the loftie skies:
And sounds from North to South, her woorthy name.
Death kil'd her, to reuenge the sacrifice
Of those she killed, when she was a dame:
Her body's heere, her soule in heauen with pleasure:
The world vnwoorthy to possesse such treasure.
