‘Ffarwell Tocstaffe, that trustye parke,

And the fayre riuer that runes there beside,

There I was wont to chase the hinde and hart!

Now therin will I neuer abide.

‘Ffarwell bold Birkhead! there was I boorne,

Within the abbey and that monesterye;

The sweet covent for mee may mourne;

I gaue to you the tythe of Beeston, trulye.
