'Honores iuxta ac labores
satis implos tulit.
Domi forisqe negotiosus;
Et suas et exteras Gentes visit,
Batavium Flandriam, Galliam, Germaniam, Italiamque
Longinuus adijt
Lateq peragravit.
Post
Curae Pastorali longum cum invigalisset
Requiem a summo Numine precatus
In has suburbanus caeli, sepulchrales aedet
Libenter secessit, et visus est mori.
Haud prius tamen
Quam se sibi Superstitem substituisset
Unumq, funus suum
Plurima vita Liberorum fesellisset
Elizabethae Alingtoni, Gulielmi, Henrici
Quos omnes suscepit
Ex unica quam accepit uxore Anna
Aaclara Mantelorum Gente
