This whole Yeare hath beene composed of the fall of the leafe, and Winter. O yee Mountaines of Gilboa, how many noble and valiant haue fallen this yeare, they that were louely and pleasant in their liues, swifter then Eagles, stronger then Lyons: How many noble Families haue beene like the naked twigs of Winter, shiuering all for cold, and dropping downe their teares abundantly? How many of the choyce Peeres and Pearles hath Death stolne out of the Coronet of our Nobility? How many poore Firre-trees may mourne, for their Cedars bee fallen? And is not this an ill boading prodigious time, wherin with hearts, and tongues, and teares, and prayers wee had need to crye, Lord, now send prosperity. |

How many of the choice Peers and Pearls hath Death stolen out of the Coronet of our Nobilt? How many poor Firtrees may mourn, for their Cedars be fallen? And is not this an ill boding prodigious time, wherein with hearts, and tongues, and tears, and Prayers we had need to cry, Lord, now send Prosperity. |
