Epitaph.
Stay, doe not passe! here fixe your eyesVpon a Virgins Obsequies!
T'is but a teare before you part:
And what are teares? They are but streames
Of sorrow, which, like frightfull dreames,
Disturbe your sences—Yet I craue
No other Sacrifice to haue:
But if you passe, and let fall none,
Y'are harder then this Marble stone.
Your loue is colder, and your eyes
As senselesse of my miseries.
