<p> As [ thy ] Cardinall of Loraine should lately en- ter into his Abbey of Clunie, his armies were <pb n="embmne_pae1591_fac087"/> set vp before the gates of the house, to wit, a great foure squared piller, brode beneath, &amp; sharpe on the toppe, hauing on the higher end the new moone blased, and from the bot- tome vpward compassed about with greene berries, and garnished with these verses, which were engrauen round about. O reader tell what thing is ment, By tombes in Memphis towne, Which on the top doth beare on high The bright beames of the moone? The moone which doth continually, Increase in light so bright, Till that night come wherin her shine, From world doth take her flight. And what doth meane the sacred Iuy, Which creepes and binds about, This tomb, to whose high top he climbs Although it be [ full ] stout. And what new fashion is this also, That leaning to it stickes, Making his stay about the same, That greenely ouer creepes. This tombe it is that mightie king, Whose maiestie honor craues, For he in heauen triumphes for vs, To sathan that were slaues. And the Iuie a bishop signifies, <pb n="embmne_pae1591_fac089"/> Euen thee most famous prince, Who in a godly life doest yeeld, Not to the best an inch. For though thy bodie lie in graue, Yet such thy vertue was, That it beares vp our laud and praise, That neuer away shall passe. .</p>
