Ex Balt asser Castilione. An Epitaph upon a Virgin whose name was Gratia.

Siste viator, dum properas hoc aspice marmor,
Et lege, ni plores, tu quoque marmor eris, &c.

Stay Travailer, and looke upon
This Marble ere thou part.
Read here, and if thou dropst no teares,
Thou likewise marble art.
Sweet Grace is dead, for cruell death
Takes both the faire and wise,
(Alas the while) and here beneath
This stone, intombed lyes,
She both her sisters tooke along,
So that we now may say
All the three graces in her death
Did perish in one day.
