AN EPYTAPHE vpon the Death of the Right worshipfull , Sir william GARRAT Knight : and chiefe Alderman of the Queenes Maiesties Citie of LONDON . Who deceased the. 27. of SEPTEMBER . 1571. ANNO AETATIS SVE . 64. EVen as the PYLATE traines the rest , that trauaile would attayne : And by the compasse of his Carde , describes his Iorney playne : Euen so the trauayle of this worlde apparant seemes to bee , From Childhood first to middle state : Then finallie wee see : From crooked Age vnto the House , that mortall Creatures win : Our Mother deare the Earth , of whom our Substance did begyn . Whiche full Effect considered well , as Flowers in the Field : we may conceiue this outwarde man , in tract of time shall yeld , And hange the head : for as the shade that glydeth on the wall , compared with the Lillie faire , so sodaine is our fall . As here before our eyes we may prospectiue plainly trie , A Mirrour and a lookyng Glasse , for euerie Wight to spie , In Countrey soyle , ( O LECTOR deare . ) of Consulshippes degree : A Lanterne bright to Iustice Seate , heare playnly thou maist see Bereaued of breath : a Knight no lesse , then Worships Citie clame : for Rector of the Publique weale , that GARAT had to name . From middle Age by sage aduise pursuyng Vertues lore : Whiche is the cause that doth augment , his Worship euermore . In Godlines , or sacred lyfe , his steppes , the Lorde hath blest : whose endlesse Fame reuiueth still , though Corps be now supprest By Natures course . In time , vnto the poore a perfect staye : maintayning Iustice equailie , from euerie daye to daye . A Patron of his Countrey deare intombde he hath , to name : For as the Senate graunts him right , the Commons say the same . Though then that Fate hath him assignd , his Pageant thus to play Still puttyng vs in Memorie , that we shall walke that waye . There is not one , that can reproue , one Title of his right , But as he was , ( euen so he died : ) to lyue a faithfull Knight . And gaue the Onset to the flesh , and conquered hath the same : As Champian bould , by Shield of Faith , to glorie of his name . Disdayning Earthly trade , or meane : embracing Heauenly light : Committyng to the handes of God , his inwarde man or Spright . If that as then suche noble Actes , enlarge his loyall prayse : And by accompt of iust desertes , his treble Honour rayse . What rufull losse hath all the state , of Senatours degree ? with whome for Counsaile graue , he was accepted wont to bee . Or els what teares may Publique weale , effuse in wofull plight ? Since fatall Doome hath pluckt from them so sage & wise a Knight What double losse hath Ladie his ? ( that vertuous Matron graue , ) Whom God had linckt to him as Spouse , for terme of lyfe to haue . What losse hath Children deare , of him ? what losse hath seruants al ? what losse hath eche that flood in neede , for Counsell his to call ? What losse hath rich ? what losse hath poore ? what losse hath ech estate what remedie ? nought helpes herein , but wayle our wofull Fate . Yet nought at all preuailes our teares , therfore to God I pray , ( Sith he is gone : ) the rest may walke , his redy Path and waye : And specially , his Brethren sage : that sit on Iustice Seate , Their Worships hartes , the Lorde direct , vnto his glorie greate . Mayntainyng iustly euerie cause , and plantyng Vertues right , So that therby the Common Weale , may floorish cleare and bright In happie state , most prosperouslie , great ioye for to be seene : To spred her Branches in respect , as doth the Olyue greene . Graunt this O God eternally , that when this race is ronne : Their Worships may obtain the Fame that GARRAT hath begon . FINIS . DIXI . N. BOVR .
This Race presents a Pilgremage , Or Tragicall Discourse on Stage : Whiche once begon , drawes to an ende ; Let Death therfore be thought on frende : And feare no whit the Campe to yelde , So longe as Fayth may be thy Shield .
