Here lyeth a Knight in London borne,     
Sir Thomas Blanke by name,
Of honest birth of Merchants trade,     
A man of worthy fame.
Religious was his Life to God,     
To Men his dealing just:
The poor and Hospitals can tell     
That wealth was not his trust.
With gentle heart, and spirit milde,     
And nature full of pitie,
Both Sheriffe, Lord Maior and Alderman,     
He ruled in this Citie.
The Good Knight was his common name,     
So cal'd of many men:
He lived long, and dyed of yeeres,     
Twice seven, and six times ten.
Obiit 28. Octob. An. Dom. 1588.

DEath was deceiv'd,     
which thought these two to part:
For though this Knight     
first left this mortall life,
Yet till she dyed,     
he still liv'd in her heart.
What happier husband,     
or more kinder wife?
Whom foure and forty     
changes of the Spring,
In sacred wedlocke,     
mutual live had linkt:
The deare remembrance     
of so deare a thing,
Was not by death     
in her chaste breast extinct.
Building this Tombe     
not long before she dy'd,
Her latest duty     
to his Funerall Rite,
Crown'd with her vertues,     
like an honest Bride,
Here lyes at rest     
by her beloved Knight.
Though worthy Blancke     
her name it still endures,
Yet, Traves, boast,     
her birth was onely yours.
Beati qui moriuntur in Domino.
