Vpon a Toomb-stone which covereth the body of a worthy Citizen, on which is ingraven a white hand pointing to a Starre.

Pure Heart, white hand, one shadowed, th'other seene,
Points to a Starre, to show what both have beene.
The Heart devout: in life a constant giver,
The Hand that gift, as ready to deliver,
In such alternate goodnesse, both agreeing,
As seldome to be matcht when they had being.
The Heart bequeath'd, the Hand did still bestow,
Both reape in Heaven, what they on earth did sow.
