Upon the Nobly minded, and most pious Gentlewoman, Mrs. Mary Williams,

daughter to that worthy Gentleman, Thomas Gwyn of the Hay-Castle, Esq;

Sæcula Phœnices nulla tulere duos.

Fresh is the morn, the Maiden-head of day.
Sweet are the flowers which breath perfumes in May:
Fair is the Rose in June: so doth her heart
The sweetest ornaments of grace impart:
Here Vertue sits inthron'd, as if she were
Contented only with her dwelling there:
Her alms and pious deeds beyond compare,
For her a seat in heaven do prepare:

88

And glorious heaven is the fittest place
To entertain so good a heart and face:
I wish, the Sun an hundred years may rise
With joy to wait upon her brighter eyes.
