A Funerall Elegy upon the most Honored upon Earth , and now glorious in Heaven , His Excellency Robert Devereux Earl of Essex and Ewe , Viscount Hereford , Lord Ferrers of Chartly Bourchier and Lovaine , late Generall of England . WHat do our sighs and tears when Essex dyes , They are for him but petty Obsequies . For when such Heroe's use to fall a sleepe The drops of rain shew that the heavens weepe ; And those huge stormes , which since his death have fell Say that the world with very grief doth swell . As heavy breathings are thrown all about Puffing at what is left for what is out . What then do lines , why do the Muses try To groan out , not to speak thy Elegie ; And why does each prophane hand to thy hearse Presume to offer up a mourning verse ? Griefe makes men cry , and each Plebean head Doth scan his sighs with pains not scanteled : The more we see , the more we see our losse ; When all affaires are now upon the tosse . Thy birth was Noble , but thy vertue more , Which in the house of fame hath layd a store That will endure whilst that a pen can run , Or mortall threads of life by fate be spun : Thy theame will Volumes fill , and thy faire shade , Of making books will urge a constant trade : Sorrow strikes dum , in this we all are laid , I can say nothing , but I would have said . Henry Mill .
