EPITAPH ON MIRIAM WOOD

A Woman well beloved of all
her neighbours, from her care of small
Folks education, their number being great,
that when she dy'd she scarsely left her mate.
So Wise, Discreet, was her behaviors
that she was well esteemed by neighbours.
She liv'd in love with all to dy
So let her rest eternally.
