This Register is for her bones
Her fame is more perpetual than ye stones
and Stil her Vertues through her life be gone
Shall live when earthly monuments are none.
Who reading this can chuse but drop a teare
For such a wife & such a Mother deare.
She ran her race & now is laid to rest
& Allalugia singes among the blest.
