Translation by T. E. Holland, Esq.
In the bowels of the earth is the body of Edward shut up,
So willed it Holland's black Fates.
But his spirit, in spite of the Fates, reigns on high,
Which neither death, nor the tomb are able to hold in.
As his body goes to earth, so his fiery mind scales the heavens,
A man (and his wife) mindful of the fame of virtue.
