To Oxford then, who did him send, into that Colledge right,
And there fourteen years did him find wh. Corpus Christi hight;
From thence at length away he went, a Clerke of learning great,
To Gisburn Abbey streight was sent, and plac'd in Prior's seat.
Bishop of Hull he was also, Archdeacon of Nottingham,
Provost of Rotheram Colledge too, of York eak Suffragan.
Two Gramer Schooles he did ordain with Land for to endure,
One Hospital for to maintain twelve impotent and poor.
O Gisburne, thou, with Tiddeswall Town, lement and mourn for may,
For this said Clerk of great renoun lyeth here compact in clay.
