_Epitaph on Sir Henry St. George_, Garter Principal King of Englishmen
[_sic_ in MS.], from a MS. in the Office of Arms, London (see Ballard MSS.,
vol. xxix.):
"Here lie a knight, a king, a saint,
Who lived by tilt and tournament.
His namesake, George, the dragon slew,
But, give the herald king his due,
He could disarm ten thousand men,
And give them arms and shields again.
But now the mighty sire is dead,
Reposing here his hoary head;
Let this be sacred to the mem'ry
Of knight St. George and of King Henry"
