❧ An Epitaph vpon the death of Richard Price Esquier ( the second sonne of Sir Iohn Price Knight , deceased ) which Richard left this life the fifth day of Ianuarie , 1586. MY sorrow doth suppresse my memorie , My griefe eke grieues my hart , and all my powres , My teares do pierce my paper thorowlie , My Muse me failes , my wo my wit deuoures , So as amasd I sit deuoid of might , In verse , or prose , my meaning to indight . Of princely iewels , precious are the price , Of gold the gaine who wisheth not to haue , Of house and land , and all by land that rise , Of all for life , who seeketh not to saue : But when I weigh the depth of mine intent , A Price to prayse , I cannot but lament . A Price for gentle bloud , of price he was , A Price well taught in youth to liue in age , A Price so fraught with vertues that surpasse , A Price though yong in yeeres , in wisedom sage : A precious Price , as Wales did euer yeeld , A Price of peace in towne , yet fierce in field . His vertues rare , his wisedom so profound . His learned skill , his curtesie so seene , His bountie great in house did so abound , His trauell such for Countrey , and for Queene , Made him beloued , and for his friendship fast , So famously , as euermore shall last . He liued no doubt with well contented mind , He liued vpright , iust both in word and deed , He liued a subiect true , as man may find , He liued to God a child of Abrahams seed : He liued to die , content to leaue each frend , He died to liue in ioy , that shall not end . His wofull wife may chiefly waile his want , His seruants next haue greatest cause to grieue , His countrey then ( sith such as he be scant ) His friends each one may sorow whilest they liue : Among the which a greater losse had none , Then I my selfe , that causlesse do not mone . Oh God graunt vs thy grace , and daily aide , Oh God put feare and loue into our hart , Oh God to sinne make vs full sore afraid , Oh God thy loue from vs do not diuart : Thou that from vs our peerelesse Price hast reft , Be our defence , that heere behind are left . R. D.
