Perfect and Prudent, Richard, by Right the Second,
Vanquish'd by Fortune, lies here now graven in
Stone,

True of his Word, and thereto well refound;
Seemly in Perfon, and like to Homer, as one
In worldly Prudence, and ever the Church in one
Upheld and favour'd, cafting the Proud to Ground
And all that would his Royal State confound.
