Pii19 Here Lyes the bonnes off him that did


Notes. In the only known source this poem immediately follows “Great Gorge, and art thou gonne” (attributed to “E.K.”), and it is introduced with the note: “The same Author writt these tow Lynes uppon Felton before his death”.


Here Lyes the bonnes off him that did

A thinge, that undone, god forbidd.
