Stay Passenger, and read vpon this stoneA Tragick Story, in the losse of one
By Fates vntimelie stroake entombed heere,
Who Mars his mignon was, the Muses deare,
A Souldier and a Schollar, one by birth
As truelie Noble, as for Vertuous Worth.
The Buckler and the Booke were his delightes,
To lead the armed Arts to fields and fights,
No lady but Minerva he did loue,
Anothers lookes could not his likeing moue,
His Valor Holland witness'd, Spaine adoares,
Fraunce feard, admird, and England now deploares.
To tell thee who it is let this suffice,
Heere Noble, Valiant, Learnd, Braue BVRROWES, lies.
SVNT ARTIBVS ARMA DECORI.
