ON MRS. ANNE PRIDEAUX, DAUGHTER OF MR. DOCTOR PRIDEAUX, REGIUS PROFESSOR.

SHE DYDE AT THE AGE OF 6 YEARES.

Nature in this small Volume was about
To perfect what in woman was left out;
Yet fearefull least a Piece soe well begun
Might want Preseruatiues, when she had done;
Ere she could finish what she vndertooke,
Threw dust vpon yt, & shut vp the Booke.
