Quæ vero, quæ digna
tuis virtutibus (Heros)
Constituent Monumenta
tui? Si qualia debet,
Posteritas, si quanta
tibi prudentia, justi
Quantus amor, si quanta
fuit facundia Linguæ,
Et decus & pulchro
veniens in corpore virtus,
Illaque munificæ
semper tibi copia dextræ;
Denique quanta fuit
magna tibi gratia quondam
Principis, Eque tuis
quæ creverat inclyta factis:
Gloria tanta tibi
statuant Monumenta Nepotes:
Ipsa tuos caperet
vix tota Britannia Manes.

These Verses are inscribed on the other side of the Tomb.
|
|
Stay, and behold the Mirror
of a dead Man's House,
Whose lively Person would
have made thee stay and wonder;
Looke, and learne to know
how to live and dye renowned;
For never can cleane Life
and famous Herses sunder.

Hatton lyes here entomb'd,
whose Name Hugh Lupus gave,
Lupus the Silices,
Sonne of William Conqueror,
For Nigel, his cleer Servants sake,
Worship and Laud:
Lo, there the Spring; look here
the Honor of his Ancester.
| |
|
When Nature moulded him,
her Thoughts were most on Mars;
And all the Heavens to make
him goodly, were agreeing:
Thence was he Valiant, Active,
strong, and passing Comely,
And God did grace his Minde
and Spirit with Gifts excelling.
| |
|
Nature commends her
Workmanship to Fortune's charge;
Fortune presents him to
the Court, and to the Queen:
Queene Eliz. (O God's deare
Handmaid) his most Miracle;
Now hearken, Reader,
Rarity not heard nor seene.
| |
|
This blessed Queene, Mirror
of all that Albion rul'd,
Gave Favour to his Faith, and
Precepts to his hopefull Time;
First, train'd him in the stately
Band of Pensioners:
Behold, how humble Hearts
make easie steps to climbe.
|
First, she made him one of her Noble Pensioners.
|
|
High Carriage, honest Life,
Heart ever Loyal,
Diligence, delight in Duty,
God doth reward:
So did this worthy Queene,
in her just Thoughts of him,
And (for her Safety) made
him Captaine of her Guard.
|
Next, Captain of her Guard.
|
|
Now doth she prune this Vine,
and from her sacred Brest
Lessons his Life, makes wise his
Heart for her great Counsels,
And so Vice-Chamberlaine;
where forreigne Princes Eyes
Might well admire her choice,
wherein she most excels.
|
Next, Vice-Chamberlain, and one of the Council.
|
|
So sweetly tempred was
his Soule with virtuous Balme;
Religious, just to God
and Cæsar in each thing;
That he aspired to
the highest Subjects Seat,
Lord Chancellor (measure and
conscience of an holy King.)
|
Lastly, Lord Chancellor of England.
|
|
Robe, Coller, Garter,
dead Figures of great Honor,
Almes-deeds, with Faith, honest
in Word, frank in dispence,
The Poore's Friend, non popular,
the Churches Pilllar;
This Tombe shewes the one,
the Heavens shrine all the other.
