[The memorie of the dead, for the liuing is a president]
The memorie of the dead, for the liuing is a president,How better we shall for our state prouide,
VVhyle we haue grace and space of the Omnipotent,
Print we well in hart what others hath betide.
VVhich haue eyther walkt straight, or staggered aside,
At our neighbours fall let vs be eke vvare,
Lest vve that stand fast, vvith them doo not slyde,
Our armour of perceuerāce, in good life lets prepare.
