… dge dyd fast, And iudged by that mighty Iudge, which Iudge shall iudge vs all. The heauens may of right reioyce, and earth may it bewayle, Sith heauen wan, and earth hath lost, the guide and arke of vayle. There gayne is much, our losse is great, there myrth our mone is such, That they may laugh as cause doo yeelde, and we may weepe as much: O happy he, vnhappy we, his happe dooth aye encrease, Happy he, and haplesse we, his hap shall neuer cease. We liue to dye, he dyed to liue, we want, and he possest, We bide in bandes, he bathes in blisse, the gods aboue him blest. Being borne to liue, he liued to dye, and dyed to God so plaine, That birth, that life, that death, doo shewe, that he shall liue agayne: His youth to age, his age to death, his death to fame applied, His fame to tyme, his time to God, thus Saunders liued and dyed. O happy life, O happier Death, O tenne times happy he, Whose happe it was such happe to haue, a Iudge this age to be. Oh ioyfull time, oh blessed soyle, where Pallas rules with witte, O noble state, O sacred seate, where Saba sage dooth sitte. Like Susan sound, like Sara sadde, with Hesters mace in hande, With Iudiths sworde Bellona like, to rule this noble lande. I had my wyll, you haue your wishe, I laugh, reioy you may, I wan now much, you gaine no lesse, to see this happy d Wherein I died, wherein you liue, Oh treble happy cost, Wherein I ioyed in glory greate, wherein you triumph most. Kneele on your knees knocke hard your brests, sound forth ye ioyful Dro …

… udge did fall, And iudged by that mighty Iudge, which Iudge shall iudge vs all: The heauens may of right reioyce, and earth may it bewayle, Sith heauen wan, and earth hath lost, the guide and arke of vayle. The gayne is much, our losse is great, their mirth, our mone is such, That they may laugh as cause doe yeld, and we may weepe as much.

We liue to dye, he died to liue, we want and he possest, UUe bide in bandes, he bathes in blisse, the Gods aboue him blest: Beyng borne to liue, he liued to dye, and dyed to God so playne, That birth, that life, that death doe shew, that he shall liue agayne. His youth to age, his age to death, his death to fame applied, His same to time, his time to God, thus Saunders liued and dyed: O happy life, O happier death, O ten times happy he, Whose hap it was, such hap to haue, a Iudge this age to be. Oh ioyfull time, Oh blessed soyle, where Pallas rules with wit, O noble state, O sacred seate, where Saba sage doth sit▪ Like Susan sound like Sara sad, with Hesters Mace in hand, With Iudithes sword Bellona like, to rule this noble land.
