The Inscription upon her Tombe-stone lying in Clerkenwell Church.
Hereunder lyes a Casket, that containdA life unspotted, and a soule unstaind,
A virgin chaste, beyond example faire,
259
Of natures pieces, one the prime and choice,
So nurturd, that for needle, booke and voice
She was unpeer'd: matchles in mind and face,
And all the vertues that her sex most grace.
Who after twenty yeares scarce fully expird,
Arriv'd at that safe port she most desird:
In life, to friends and parents fresh joyes bringing:
In death; to God sweet Halelujaes singing.
Obijt Die Mart. 8. Anno Ætat. 20. An. salutis. 1636.
