Epitaph On Frederick, Duke Of Schomberg[1]
Hic infra situm est corpus FREDERICI DUCIS DE SCHOMBERG. ad BUDINDAM occisi, A.D. 1690. DECANUS et CAPITULUM maximopere etiam atque etiam petierunt, UT HAEREDES DUCIS monumentum In memoriam PARENTIS erigendum curarent: Sed postquam per epistolas, per amicos, diu ac saep' orando nil profec're; Hunc demum lapidem ipsi statuerunt, Saltem ut scias, hospes, Ubinam terrarum SCONBERGENSIS cineres delitescunt "Plus potuit fama virtutis apud alienos, Quam sanguinis proximitas apud suos." A.D. 1731.
