 | "Songes and Sonettes written by the ryght honorable
Lorde Henry Haward late Earle of Surrey, and other" |  |
For Wilford wept first men
An other, of the same knightes death.
For Wilford wept first men, then ayr also,For Wilford felt the wayters wayfull wo.
The men so wept: that bookes, abrode which bee,
Of moornyng meeters full a man may see.
So wayld the ayr: that, clowds consumde, remaynd
No dropes, but drouth the parched erth sustaynd.
So greeted floods: that, where ther rode before
A ship, a car may go safe on the shore.
Left were nomo, but heauen, and erth, to make,
Throughout the world, this greef his rigor take.
But sins the heauen this Wilfords goste dothe keep,
And earth, his corps: saye mee, why shold they weep?
