41. An Epitaph on Mistresse Gray, Grandmother to Sir Andrew Kniveton.
Lo here deare Reliques of the richest frameOf Beauty, by whose fall the Paschall Lambe
(Her honour'd Crest) a golden Fleece hath lost,
Kept here by Death, till with a glorious Host,
Not Iason, but our blessed Iesus come,
Sayling on clouds, to fetch this Treasure home.
