Sir Arthur Gorges (15..-1625)
In obitum illustrissimi viri Di. Arthuri Gorges, equitis aurati, epicedium.
Te deflent nati, natae, celeberrima conjux;
Te dolet argutae magna caterva scholae.
At Lucanus[LXXIV.] ait se vivo non moriturum
Arthurum Gorges: transtulit ipse decus.
Aethereas cupiens Arthurus adire per auras
Et nonus ex ejus nomine natus adest.
[LXXIV.] transtulit Lucanum.
In the aisle of the Gorges, viz. south side of the church of Chelsey on an altar monument made for his father or grandfather—‘Ds. Arthur Gorge, eq. aur., filius ejus natu maximus.’
