Lo! Thomas Mond, Esquire by birth,

To shew that Men (By Natures Law)

And dyed the seventh of February,

His Soule (immortall) lives in Heaven,     
by God's eternal doome.

Cur Sacerdos eram,     
jam factus vile cadaver?
Et cito pulvis erit:     
Quæso memento mei.
Siste gradum qui me     
teris hic, & funde precatus
Me Deus ut levet hinc,     
ducat ad usque Polum.

William Babham, and Alice Button his Wife, An. Dom. 1577.

Lo here the certain end     
of every mortal One,
Behold! alive to day,     
to morrow dead and gone.
Live well, so endless Life     
(by Death) you shall obtaine,
Nought lose the Good by death,     
since Life thereby they gaine.

Dum mihi persuasi     
me quæsiviq; salutem,
En morior dixit,     
nam Deus esse diem:
Non equidem invideo,     
peccati debita merces,
Cum sit mors nostri,     
cum reus omnis homo,
Cumq; operum requies,     
& sit mihi vita perennis,
In Christo morior,     
mors mihi gratus adest,
Quem mors sic rapuit;     
Cujus sunt ista sepulchra
Si quæras, subsunt     
quæ tibi cuncta notant.

William Lambe,     
so sometime was my Name,
Whiles I alive     
did run my mortall Race;
Serving a Prince     
of most immortal Fame,
Henry the Eighth,     
who of his Princely Grace,
In his Chappell     
allowed me a Place.
By whose Favour,     
from Gentleman t'Esquire,
I was prefer'd,     
with Worship for my hire.

With Wives three     
I joyned Wedlocke band,
Which (all alive)     
true Lovers were to me:
Joane, Alice and Joane,     
for so they came to hand,
What needeth praise,     
regarding their degrees?
In Wively truth     
none stedfast mnore could be.
Who though in Earth     
Death's force did once dissever,
Heaven yet (I trust)     
shall joyne us all together.

O Lambe of Gods,     
which Sinne didst take away,
And (as a Lambe)     
was offered up for Sinne;
Where I (poor Lambe)     
went from thy Flocke astray,
Yet thou (good Lord)     
vouchsafe thy Lambe to winne
Home to thy Fold,     
and hold thy Lambe therein?
That at the Day, when     
Lambes and Goats shall sever,
Of thy choice Lambes,     
Lambe may be one for ever.

Under which Remembrance there are two Verses more added, containing both a Petition, and an Injunction of Duty to the Poor, who Weekly receive their Allowance at the Hands or Appointment of the Worshipful Company of Stationers. To whom he bearing great Affection, and having also no small Affiance in them, made them his Disposers and Stewards in that behalf. The Verses are these:

I pray you all     
that receive Bread and Pence,
To say the Lord's Prayer     
before you go hence.

As for the Verses engraven upon the upper Stone of the Tomb, they are these.

As I was, so are ye,
As I am, you shall be.
That I had, that I gave,
That I gave, that I have.
Thus I end all my cost,
That I left, that I lost.
