ON HIS WIFE, AN EPITAPH.
Thou needst no Tomb (my Wife) for thou hast one,To which all Marble is but Pumix Stone.
Thou art engrau'd so deeply in my heart,
It shall out-last the strongest hand of Art.
Death shall not blott the thence, although I must
In all my other parts dissolue to dust;
For thy Deare Name, thy happy Memorie,
May so embalme it for Eternity,
That when I rise, the name of my deare Wife
Shall there be seen, as in the booke of life.
