Our freedome of mind,
cannot be confin'd
With Riches are inwardly blest;
nor Death, nor the Grave,
Our worths can deprave,
nor malice our Ashes molest.

When such Moals as you,
your own Earth shal Mew,
And worms shal your memory eat:
our names being read
Shall strike envy dead
and Ages our worths shall repeat.
