If Grace could length of days thee give
Or Virtue coulde have made the live
If Goodnesse could Thee here have kept
Or Tears of friends which for thee wept
Then had'st thou lived amongst us heere
To who thy virtues made thee deere
But thou a Sainte did'st Heaven Aspire
Whiles heere on earth wee the admire
The rest deere Corps in Mantle Claye
Till Christ thee raise the latter daye

Thy yeres were fewe Thy Glasse beinge run
Were death ende thy lyfe begun
