Epitaph for Richard Cavendish, Engraved on his Monument in Hornsey Church

Candish deriv'd from Noble Parentage
Adorn'd with Vertuous and heroicke partes
Most learned bountifull Devout and Sage
Grac'd with the graces Muses and the Artes
Deer to his Prince in English Court admird
Beloved of great and Honourable Peeres
Of all estemed embraced and desired
Till Death Cut of his well employed yeeres.
Within this earth his earth entombed lies
Whose heavenly part Surmounted has the skies.
