Notes. This poem’s connection to Ralegh depends on the probable contemporary pronunciation of Walter as “Water”.

All earthlie things by Water knowe

All earthlie things do ebb and flowe

This my end; all ages after

may learne to live and die by water.


Source. PRO SP 46/64, fol. 163

Other known sources. Ralegh, Poems 195
