THUS lieth the dead, that whilome lived here | |
| Among the dead that quick go on the ground; | |
| Though he be dead, yet doth he quick appear | |
| By immortal fame that death cannot confound | |
| His life for aye, his fame in trump shall sound. | 5 |
| Though he be dead, yet is he thus alive: | |
| No death that life from Wyatt can deprive. | | | |
