[Relenting Eye, which daignest to this Stone]

Relenting Eye, which daignest to this Stone
To lend a look, behold, here be laid one,
The Living and the Dead interr'd, for Dead
The Turtle in its Mate is; and she fled
From Earth, her [OMITTED] choos'd this Place of Griefe
To bound [OMITTED] Thoughts, a small and sad Reliefe.
His is this Monument, for hers no Art
Could frame, a Pyramide rais'd of his Heart.
