English text

Let us now praise famous men, and our fathers that begat us.
Such as did bear rule in their kingdoms, men renowned for their power.
Leaders of the people by their counsels, and by their knowledge.
Such as found out musical tunes, and recited verses in writing.
All these were honoured in their generations, and were the glory of their times.
And some there be, which have no memorial, who are perished as though they had never been.
Their bodies are buried in peace, but their name liveth for evermore.
