Anagram . Regard I die . No longer J shall foyle the Cavalry : But be ye watchfull , stout , regard , I die . SAd Prodigy I Can famous valiant Grey Thus silently slide to his bed of Clay ? Returne our sorrows , sigh we forth a Verse , May deck the Pomp , and mournings of his Herse . But 't were detraction to suppose a Teare , A Sigh , or Blacks , which the sad Mourners weare , Our losse could value : He that names but thee , Must bring an Eye , that can weepe Elegie : Who in his face must weare a Funerall , Clouded with griefe for thy untimely fall . What ill aspected Planet then did lowre ? Which then transcendent in that fatall houre ? The splendent Sunne could not looke on and shine , But 's clouded , whiles thy glory did decline . Hath irefull Mars his spightfull influence bent 'gainst his owne sonne ? He 's still malevolent . Thy part t'hast acted well ; but Tragedie Ill prov'd , having a sad Catastrophe . Thy sable Curtaine was too soon o'respread , Even at thy noone to bring thee to thy bed . Unlucky hand , and heart with fury fir'd , Which passage made whereby thy soule expir'd . Yet we applaud the wisdome of thy fate , Which knew to value thee at such a rate , That for thy fall an Hecatombe it cost , And Mynne was offered to appease thy ghost . Thou needst no gilded Tombe , whereon t' engrave , The name of worthy Grey , which thou shalt have , So long as Glouc'ster shall that name retaine , Besieged erst by Brittaines Charlemaigne . Thy conqueting Arme made thy stout foe to yeeld ; Thy Sword had wonne the Trophies in the field . Thy Coate speaks thy high birth , but thine own praise Shall crowne thine Armes with never-fading Bayes . See the Argent-Lyon which hath Rampant stood , Now Couchant lie in Field of Gules and Blood . The Crescent Or , Greys second House doth marke , Of famous ancestry the House of Werke : But now decrescent is , it 's Or 's or'espread With Colour Sable , Or is turn'd to Lead . Farewell heroicke spirit , who art to be Of publique sorrow the epitome ; All sigh forth grones , meethinkes the Coats of Blew Are strangely changed into a Sable hew . But sorrow stops me , and my griefe 's undrest , And rude in language I 'le sigh out the rest . J. A. EDWARD GREY , Major . Anagrams III I.
