To the buried Prince.

Hee alludeth to that famous worke of Henry the seauenths Chappell, so contriued, that from euery window in the same, in the Foundation, a line was laid to the Kings Graue, and in the same to his heart, as hee ordaidained it in his life.

As from each angle of the Vault,
Wherein thou lyest, a line is brought
Vnto the Kingly founders heart;
So vnto thee, from euery part,
See how our loues doe runne by line,
And dead, concenter in thy Shrine.
