And bath’d his pinnace in his conquering blood,
’Till, all his purple current dried and spent,
He fell, and made the waves his monument.
Where shall the next famed Grenville’s ashes stand?
Thy grandsire fills the seas, and thou the land.
Martin Llewellin.”

Sir Beville Granville was forty-eight years of age at the time of his death, as appears by the following record of his birth in the parish register at Kilkhampton:
“Bevell, the sonne of the worshipful Bernarde Greynville, Esquire, was borne and baptized at Brinn in Cornwall, Ao. Dni. 1595.”
In the margin, “Marche 1595, borne the 23d day, baptized the 25th day of Marche.”
