The tomb of Richard II. and his wife, of brass, gilt, and these
verses written round it:


Perfect and prudent, Richard, by right the Second,
Vanquished by Fortune, lies here now graven in stone,
True of his word, and thereto well renound:
Seemly in person, and like to Homer as one
In worldly prudence, and ever the Church in one
Upheld and favoured, casting the proud to ground,
And all that would his royal state confound.


Without the tomb is this inscription:


Here lies King Richard, who perished by a cruel death,
in the year 1369.
To have been happy is additional misery.


Near him is the monument of his queen, daughter of the Emperor
Wenceslaus.

On the left hand is the tomb of Edward I., with this inscription:


Here lies Edward I., who humbled the Scots. A.D. 1308.
Be true to your engagements.
