[Carolle]

<sigh> I went to look up the full text of that and the www.tudorplace.com
website is blocked!  Is there somewhere else it might be?

Cadfan quoted:

Since this is the bards' list, we should recognize that, after his death,
that relationship and monument were commemorated in verse by John Aubrey as
follows (from his biography at www.tudorplace.com):

Here lies the good old knight Sir Harry, 

Who loved well but would not marry; 

While he lived and had his feeling, 

She did lie and he was kneeling. 

Now he's dead and cannot feel, 

He doth lie and she doth kneel.
