o small Fools in those days._] And here they stand upright in a Press With Bodies made of Wax; With a Globe and a Wand in either Hand, And their Robes upon their Backs. Here lies the Duke of _Buckingham_, And the Dutchess his Wife; Him _Felton_ Stabb'd at _Portsmouth_ Town, And so he lost his Life. Two Children of King _James_ these are, Whom Death keeps very chary; _Sophia_ in the Cradle lies, And this is the Lady _Mary_. [Sidenote: Bess. _Good Woman pray still your Child, it keeps such a bawling, we can't hear what the Man says._] And this is Queen _Elizabeth_, How the _Spaniards_ did infest her? Here she lies Buried, with Queen _Mary_, And now agrees with her Sister. To another Chapel now we come, The People follow and chat; This is the Lady _Cottington_, And the People cry, who's that? This is the Lady _Frances Sidney_, The Countess of _Suffolk_ was she; And this the Lord _Dudley Carleton_ is, And then they look up and see. Sir _Thomas Brumley_ lieth here, Death would him not reprieve; With his four Sons, and Daughters four, That once were all alive. The next is Sir _John Fullerton_, And this is his Lady I trow; And this is Sir _John Puckering_, Whom none of you did know. That's the Earl of _Bridgwater_ in the middle, Who makes no use of his Bladder; Although his Lady lie so near him, And so we go up a Ladder. [Sidenote: Kate. _He took more pains, than I would ha done for a Hundred such._] _Edward_ the First, that Gallant Blade, Lies underneath this Stone; And this is the Chair which he did bring, A good while ago from _Scone_. In this same Chair, till now of late, Our Kings and Queens were Crown'd; Under this Chair another Stone Doth lie upon the Ground. [Sidenote: Ralf. _Gad I warrant there has been many a Maiden-head got in that Chair._ Tom. _Gad and I'll come hither and try one of these Days, an't be but to get a Prince._ Dol. _A_ Papist _I warrant him._] On that same Stone did _Jacob_ sleep, Instead of a Down Pillow; And after that 'twas hither brought, By some good honest Fellow. _Richard_ the Second lieth here, And his first Queen, Queen _Ann_; _Edward_ the Third lies here hard by, Oh! there was a Gallant Man. For this was his two handed Sword, A Blade both true and Trusty; The _French_ Men's Blood was ne'er wip'd off, Which makes it look so rusty. Here he lies again, with his Queen _Philip_
