Epitaphium D. Gulielmi Buttii Equitis Aurati, &     
Medici Regis Henrici Octavi, qui obiit     
An. Dom. 1545. Novem. 17.

Quid Medicina valet? quid Honos? quid Gratia Regum?     
Quid popularis Amor, Mors ubi sæva venit?
Sola valet pietas, quæ structa est, Auspice Christo,     
Sola in morte valet, cætera cuncta fluunt.
Ergo mihi in vita fuerit quando omnia Christus,     
Mors mihi nunc lucrum, vitaque Christus erit.

Epitaphium hoc primitus inscriptum pariete, & situ jam penè exesum, sic demum restitutit Leonardus Buttis, Armiger, Norfolciensis. Oct. 30, 1627. Amoris ergô.
