Verses made vpon the death of the
Ducke of Buckingham
Sooner Soner may I some fixed statue bee
Then prooue some forgetfull of thy death or thee
What art thou gone soe quicly? could a knife,
Let out soe many titles and a life.
Now I'le mourne thee o that soe huge a pile
Of State Should thus passe in soe smale a while.
Let the rude geneus of the giddy traine
Bragge in a fury it hath stab'd Spaine
Austrea and the Skipping French yea all
Those home bred Papists who did wish our fall
The Eclypse of two wise princes iudgements, more
The wast whereby our Land was Still kept poore
Il'e pitty yet at least thy fatall end
Shot like a lightening from a violent hand
Taking thee hence vnsummon'd thou art to us
