XVIII. An Epitaph on the Lady Mary Farmor.
Chastely to live, one husband wed, he gone,
Gravely to spend a Widowhood alone.
Full seventeen tedious years in memory
Of that dear worth which dy'd when he did dye:
To make life one long act of goodnesse, gain
More love than the worlds malice e're could stain,
Then calmly passe with sighs of every friend,
Were those brave wayes which her so much commend,
That 'tis no strong Line, but a Truth, to fix,
Here lies the best Example of her Sex.
