Those hours of joy in which you raised our spirit
The homage you gave your love to our devoted merit
Bring back my memories of your lovely April prime
Happy your tail wagg'd to thy golden time.
Of your winter days I hope our kindness made them sweet
Your years with us, our family, believe my tears were our treat.
If now upon this day harden minds do still not believe
Perfect ceremony of truths of sadness damn'd death does weave
How, not only once, that worship you gave to us, in your merry way
Jan 3rd, a devout soul, companion'd friend, died in our hearts today.
