the altar of the chapel of their house; and she was to have for life all rents due to him from his manors of Southwell (in Nottingham) and Moulton (in Suffolk)." His wife was one of his executors. The will is still preserved at Lambeth Palace. Gower's tomb and monument may also still be seen at St. Saviour's, where the description Berthelet gave of them in 1532 is, aside from the deadening of the paintings, true:—"Somewhat after the olde ffashion he lyeth ryght sumptuously buryed, with a garland on his head, in token that he in his lyfe dayes flouryshed freshely in literature and science." The head of his stone effigy lies upon three volumes representing Gower's three great works; the hair falls in long curls; the robe is closely buttoned to the feet, which rest upon a lion, and the neck is encircled with a collar, from which a chain held a small swan, the badge of Henry IV. "Besyde on the wall where as he lyeth," continues Berthelet, "there be peynted three virgins, with crownes on theyr heades; one of the which is written Charitie, and she holdeth this devise in her hande:— 'En toy qui fitz de Dieu le Pere Sauve soit que gist souz cest piere.' (In thee, who art Son of God the Father, Be he saved who lieth under this stone.) [Pg 6581] "The second is wrytten Mercye, which holdeth in her hande this devise:— 'O bone Jesu fait ta mercy Al alme dont le corps gist icy.' (O good Jesus, grant thy mercy To the soul whose body lies here.) "The thyrde of them is wrytten Pity, which holdeth in her hand this devise:— 'Pur ta pite, Jesu regarde, Et met cest alme en sauve garde.'" (For thy pity, Jesus, see; And take this soul in thy safe guard.) The monument was repaired in 1615, 1764, and 1830.
