good evening,

i'm trying to find the author and the name of a poem.
it was written about a hundred years ago and the man i think was a lord and was imprisoned and he wrote his own eulogy. can anyone help?

Sir Walter Raleigh wrote his own epitaph, and he was imprisoned for q while in the tower of London. This goes back more like 400 years, but if you think it might be what you're looking for:
