UPON HIS KINSWOMAN MRS. M.S., by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Here lies a virgin, and as sweet
Last Line: You'l do my neice abundant honour.
Subject(s): Epitaphs


Here lies a Virgin, and as sweet
As ere was wrapt in winding sheet.
Her name if next you wo'd have knowne,
The Marble speaks it Mary Stone:
Who dying in her blooming yeares,
This Stone, for names sake, melts to teares.
If fragrant Virgins you'l but keep
A Fast, while Jets and Marbles weep,
And praying, strew some Roses on her,
You'l do my Neice abundant honour.
