Flamma sine Fumo | ||
An Epitaph upon my beloved Daughter Susanna Watkyns,
who was born upon Ashwednesday, 1655. and dyed the 5. of August, 1658.
Here lies a pleasant Rose, rash Death thought goodTo take, and crop it in the tender bud:
God is a Husbandman, who doth remove
His younger plants, to make them better prove.
She for her mornings work shall have her pay
Equal with those that labour'd all the day.
Ashwednesday she was born; for her I mone,
Because she is so soon to Ashes gone.
