| 33. An Epitaph |
| O MORTAL folk, you may behold and see | |
| How I lie here, sometime a mighty knight; | |
| The end of joy and all prosperitee | |
| Is death at last, thorough his course and might: | |
| After the day there cometh the dark night, | 5 |
| For though the daye be never so long, | |
| At last the bells ringeth to evensong. |
