Forget who can yf that he lyft to see,
Fortescue of ffylleghie the seventhe of that degre,
Remembrance of a frynde his brother Drake doth showe,
Presentinge this unto the eyes of moo,
Hurtfull to none and fryndlye to the moste,
The erthe his bones the heavens possese his goste
Richard ffortescue died at Filleghie ye last day of June 1570
