Epitaphium nobilis Matronæ, Epig. 63.

Behold these little Marble stones
Which veile not to those mighty ones

Of Cæsar, nor the Carian pride:
Terentus twice my life hath try'd,
And twas sincere to my last end.
Five Boyes great Juno did me send,
And just as many Girles as those
Whose hands my dying eyes did close.
And this rare glory happ'ned more to mee,
One prick was privy to my chastitie.
