First lines
Here peaceful sleeps the chaste, the happy shade / Of that pure spirit, which adorn'd this earth: / Pure fame, true beauty, and transcendent worth, / Rude stone! beneath thy rugged breast are laid.
Death sudden snatch'd the dear lamented maid! / Who first to all my tender woes gave birth, / Woes! that estranged my sorrowing soul to mirth, / While full four lustres time completely made.
