“The verses following were written by Richard Carew, of Antony, esq.
immediately before his death (which happened the sixth of November
1620) as he was at his private prayers in his study (his daily
practice) at four in the afternoon; and being found in his pocket,
were preserved by his grandson Sir Alexander Carew, according to whose
desire they are here set up in memory of him.
Full thirteen fives of years I toyling have o’erpast
And in the fourteenth, weary entered am at last.
While rocks, sands, stormes, and leaks, to take my bark away
By grief, troubles, sorrows, sickness did essay,
And yet arriv’d I am not at the port of death,
The port to everlasting life that openeth.
My time uncertain, Lord! long certain cannot be,
That best to mee’s unknown, and only known to thee.
O! by repentance and amendment, grant that I
May still live in thy fear――and in thy favour dye.”
