EPITAPH ON ROBERT CANYNGE.
Thys Morneynge Starre of Radcleves rysynge Raie,A True Man, Good of Mynde, and Canynge hyghte,
Benethe thys Stone lies moltrynge ynto Claie,
274
Thyrde from hys Loyns the presente Canynge came;
Houton are wordes for to telle his doe;
For aie shall lyve hys Heaven-recorded Name,
Ne shalle ytte die whanne Tyme shall be ne moe;
Whan Mychael's Trompe shall sounde to rize the Soulle,
He'lle wynge toe heaven with kynne, and happie be yer dolle.
