Notes. Thomas Sackville, Lord Buckhurst, 1st Earl of Dorset, and Lord Treasurer under James I, died on 19 April 1608 during a meeting at the Privy Council table.

Heere lye’s a Lord that Wenching thought no sinne

and bought his flesh by selling of our skinne

His name was Sackvile & so Void of Pitty

as hee did rob the Country with the Citty.
