Who Sergeant of the Chirurgeons sworne,

To warn the World of present Change,

Ecce sub hoc Tumulo     
Gulielmus conditur Honus,
Vir justus, verbis

Corde timens. Qui cum     
Guilda sit functus in Aula,
Cumque palam in Templo     
bis legerat Anglica jura,
Cunctorum sanè     
non sine laude virum;
Mors hominem accersens     
supremum dixit adito.
Sic moritur, corpus terræ,

Scandit at excelsis     
sidera mente poli.
Hoc posuit Conjunx     
dilecta Jocosa Sepulchrum,
Dicta Jocosa licet     
plena dolore tamen.
