Epitaph On Mrs. Mary Draper.
I
Reader , if thou cast thine EyeOn this weeping Stone below:
Know, that under it doth lye
One, that never Man did know.
II
Yet of all Men full well knownBy those beauties of her Breast:
For, of all she wanted none,
When Death call'd her to her rest.
400
III
Then, the Ladies, if they wouldDye like her, kind Reader tell,
They must strive to be as good
Alive, or 'tis impossible.
