AN EPITAPH ON MRS. EL: Y.

Vnderneath this stone there lyes
More of Beauty then are eyes;
Or to read that she is gone,
Or alyue to gaze vpon.
She in so much fairenes clad,
To each Grace a Vertue had;
All her Goodnes cannot be
Cut in Marble. Memorie
Would be vseles, ere we tell
In a Stone her worth. Farewell.
