A garden of graue and godlie flowers | ||
To the Cittie Aberden at the death of Jho. Fo. Ba.
Fair Virgin Mother, Widow-like lament,Thy Martiall Son, and Lamb-like lover lost,
Peirs everie ear, and place, with thy complent,
Whill they admire, that are remotest most,
Apend thy plaints, to everie Pole and post,
Chalcographiz'd, with Charecters of wo,
And let thy grief's vpon thy Goun b'ingrost,
That everie eie may see thy sorrow so:
Since to thy wracks, this wrack is ioyn'd the worst,
For dreadfull Death hes by one bitter blo,
One of thy firmest, forts vnfreindly forst,
And maind the of, an of thy members strong;
That boore thy burden louingly, and long.
