Her EPITAPH.
HERE lies (or rather lives) a Saint, whose Worth No Heraldry's able to blazon forth: Perfectly fair, as to her outward Form, But greater Beauties did her Soul adorn: Good to a Miracle; in Temper even, Always submissive to the Will of Heaven. By her own Deeds she most her self commends: The best of Wives, of Mothers, and of Friends. Precious in ours, but in her Maker's Eyes A Pearl of most inestimable Price: Much too Angelic long on Earth to stay, To Heaven (her blessed Home) she's flown away, There's her immortal Part; her frailer Dust Shall have the Resurrection of the Just. To sum up all her Virtues, this is she That was what others should, but cannot be.
