EPITAPH. IV. On my Lady---
Beneath this Marble lays a LoadOf Earth, which once was Flesh, and Blood,
Warm'd with a Spirit strangely prone
To hate all Notions, but her own:
Her Person fair, of moderate Size,
Her Mind, as moderately wise;
Not very dull, nor mighty smart;
But hated Wit with all her Heart:
Not very silent, nor a Scold;
Extremely chaste, extremely cold,
Loyal, and pious to Excess,
And truly bumble in Distress,
149
Renouncing Satan, Whig, and Pope.
