EPITAPH OF IOHN FIRST MARQUES of Hammilton.
Blest was thy life, and blessed didst thou die,
Thy Oyle was burning, and thy Lamp gaue light,
VVhen lifes prowd foe, pale death did summond thee
To render earth her due, and heavens their right:
Thogh death did then thy soule and bodie sever,
Once thou shalt be conjoind, and liue for ever.

Here rests within this Tomb of truth th' vnmatched zealeThe father, & the faithful friēd, of Church, & cōmon wel:
In storme and calme inclind to doe his Kings command,
Of peace the parent, child of Mars, cheef glorie of the land.
