Inscription

Ask me not who’s buried here
Goe ask the commons, ask the Shire
Goe ask the Church, they’l tell thee who
As well as blubbered eyes can doe
Goe, ask the Heraulds, ask the poore
Thine ears shall heare enough to ask no more
Then – if thine eye bedew this sacred urne
Each drop a pearle will turne
T’adorne his Tombe, of if thou canst not vent
Thou bringst more marble to his Monument.
