One of "Foure Epytaphes made by the countes of Oxenford, after the death of her young sonne, the lord Bulbecke, &c." Included in John Soothern's The Musyque of the Beautie of his Mistresse Diana (1584). Thomas Park, A Catalogue of the Royal and Noble Authors of England, Scotland, and Ireland, vol. 2 (London: John Scott, 1806), observes that "it so much resembles the style of Soothern, that it may almost be suspected of being tricked out by his incomprehensible pen."
