WYC
HEERE lyes
Beneath this heape
Of bones, in quiet sleepe
A Knight who never dyes.
SCOTLAND did lend him birth,
And vaunteth of His WORTH,
Bohemia's and the GERMANE VVarres
Bred from a Boye this hopefull MARS,
Vntill the service of his LORD and KING
Did challenge his first flowres in Valours spring.
Those RETZ did gather whilst they did but bud,
And watring drownde the tree in FRANCE'S blood.
The Souldiers, Honour, Love, have reard this loftie frame,
To shrowde the sacred ashes of Couragious Cuninghame.

LAWDER.
