Has no one else noticed it rhymes?

“Man here thov mayste yntombed see a man of honest fame,
Come home to earthe who in life bare Willm Cantrell name,
A gentleman in birth in life in ofice and degre,
Now wrapte in clay then thincke oh man what shall becom of the,
This Willm Cantrell feofee was with others put in trvste,
Regarded well for vertvovs life wise sorertrev and lvste
Even of the whole revennes of that mighty prince of the late
Thomas Dvke of Norfolke highte somtyme of high estate”

Man here thou mayest see a man of honest fame
Come home to Earth who in life bore William Cantrell name.
A gentleman in birth, in life, in office and degree.
Now wrapped in clay. Then think oh man what shall become of thee?
This William Cantrell something was with others put in trust
Regarded well for [a] virtuous life something something and lust
Even of the whole something of that mighty prince of late
Thomas Duke of Norfolk something sometime of high estate
