" Which made them Such a Partial Verdict pass 

 " Which was contrary to an honest cause 

 " Upon this Information they Deny'd 

 " The tyths for Which at 'Sizes thou hadst try'd 

 " Until another Sarum 'Size and then 

 " Thy cause was pleaded over there again 

 "Where Notwithstanding all Misinformations, 

 " Thou didst preserve a Noble Reputation, 

 "And there this Second Jury did agree, 

 " All tythes at Clatford did belong to thee, 

 " Except ye Tyth of Clatford eight Yard lands 

 . " For which an antient Modus firmly Stands 

 " Which does Oblidge the Mannor Still to pay 

 " Full twenty Shillings every Easter day, 

 " An Acre of the Wheat which is to Stand 

 " On any part of all the eight Yard lands, 

 " Which wheat and Money always is to Stand 

 " In Lue of Tyth for all the eight Yard Lands, 

 " This was thy Care but thy Successors gain 

 " And too thy Memory twill still remain 

 " Thou always didst resolve for to rely 

 " Upon the plea of truth and honesty 

 " The Widdows cause thou always didst defend 

 " And to the Fatherless hast been a friend 

 " This was our Churches Vicar and her friend 

 " Which Churches he always did defend 

 " But now he's gone to that most Glorious place 

 " Where he may still behold his Makers face.
