On Elizabeth L. H

 Epitaphs: i


WOULDST thou hear what Man can say 
In a little? Reader stay.
 
Underneath this stone doth lie 
As much Beauty as could die: 
Which in life did harbour give 5 
To more Virtue than doth live.
 
If at all she had a fault  
Leave it buried in this vault.
 
One name was Elizabeth  
The other let it sleep with death: 10 
Fitter where it died to tell 
Than that it lived at all.
 Farewell.
