Emblem. 3. Post funus spes una superstes.

DIGNISSIMAE FOEMInæ & Matronæ Dominæ Walsingham in obisum clarissimi viri charissimi sibi coniugis D. Francisci Walsingham.



In English.

Ezech. 37

The Prophet by the Spirite loe,

is to a valley brought:
Where bones he seeth, both too and fro,
drie and consumde to nought.
He vieweth them well and in his muse
a ratling sound he heares,
Not much vnlike as when they vse
to iust and runne with speares.
The partes, which were before alone
and bones are ioynde together:
They flesh and breath receiue eche one,
which earst were seene to wither.
We learne that though our bones doe lye
turned to dust in graue,
Yet when God doeth to iudgement hye
we shall againe them haue.
Your husband shall arise from dust
though rest in graue a while he must,
This fatall bed do you not feare,
when death (good Ladie) draweth neere.
The dryed bones inspired with winde,
naked of late now flesh do finde.
So you shall see euen with your eyes
your husband clothed when you arise.
Here Christ doeth bid you comfort seeke,
thus wipe the teares from daughters cheeke,
Me thinkes I see him from aboue
looke downe, and thus speake to his loue:
Why woman enuyest thou my state,
and wouldst by teares fetch downe thy mate,
And so againe renewe my care,
I wish that thou, as I, mightest fare.
