From the tombstone in Hawstead Church, Suffolk:
Here lieth clothed now in earth Sir William Drury, knight, Such one as whilst he lived here was loved of every wight, Such temperance he did retain, such prudent courtesy, Such noble mind with justice joined such liberality As fame itself shall sound for me the glory of his name Much better than this metal mute can aye pronounce the same. The leventh of frosty Janyver, the year of Christ, I find, A thousand five hundred fifty-seven his vital thread untwined, Who yet doth live and shall do still in hearts of them that knew him; God grant the slips of such a stock in virtue to ensue him.
