II A 8

[Heer lye the bones of busy Gardiner dead]

Heer lye the bones of busy Gardiner dead
that in five yeares spoild more good lawes and lore
then two great Kings with all the wittes they bred
Could stablish sure in forty yeares before
The Queen beguild, the Lordes like lymehoundes led,
The usurping rule of Rome he did restore
Burne, head, and hang, imprison, vex and spoile
the worthie sort of this declying Soile.
