    That it may please you leave these sad designs
    To him that hath most cause to be a mourner,
    And presently repair to Crosby House;
    Where--after I have solemnly interred
    At Chertsey monast'ry with noble king--
    And wet his grave with my repentant tears--
    I will with all expedient duty see you.
