First Line: Some leave their home for private discontent
Last Line: Which was thy good, and true religion.
Subject(s): Epitaphs; Exiles; Grief; Home; Knights & Knighthood; Sorrow; Sadness
Some leaue their home for priuate discontent,
Some forced by compulsed banishment.
Some for an itching lust of nouell sight,
Some one for gaine, some other for delight.
Thus whilst some force, some other hope bereaues,
Some leaue their country, some their country leaues.
But thee no griefe, force, lust, gaine or delight,
Exiled from thy home (thrice worthy Knight)
Saue that griefe, force, that gaine, delight alone,
Which was thy good, and true religion.
