The inscription upon his tomb was, in Camden's time, almost illegible, as before mentioned, and the only verse that could be read was, " Miles e ram Murtis Mars multos vicerat armis."

Surrounded by the nobles, he thus addresses tbe king on his throne— " Pew BROKE. Τ (as one that uni the tongue of these. To soutul thé purposes of all their hearts,) Doth for myself and them, (but, chief of all, Your safety, for the which myself and them Bend their best studies,) heartily request The enfranchisement of Arthur; whose rewtraint Doth move the murmuring lip* of discontent To break into this dangerous argument,— If, what in rest you have, in right you hold, Wh y then your fear*, (which, as they say, attend The step* of wrong,) should move you to mew up Your tender kiusniau, and to choke his day» With barbarous ignorance, and deny hie youth The rich advantage of good exercise ?
