Heere lyeth old Henry, no freend to mischeeuus enuy.
Surnamd Abyngdon, to al men most hartily welcoom.
Clerck he was in wellis, where tingle a great many bellis.
Also in thee chappel hee was not counted a moungrel:
And such a lowd singer, in a thowsand not such a ringer.
And with a concordance, a man moste skilful in organce.
Now God J craue duly: sence this man saru'd the soe truelye,
Henrye place in kingdoom,, that is also named Abyngdon.
