Enough; and leaue the rest to Fame;
'Tis to Commend her but to name.
Courtship, which Liueing she declin'd,
When dead to offer; were unkind.
Where neuer any could speake ill,
Who would officious Praises spill?
Nor can the truest Wit or Friend
Without Detracting her Commend.
To say she liu'd A Virgin Chast.
In this Age loose and all unlac'd;
Nor was, where vice is so allow'd,
Of virtue or Asham'd or Proud;
That her Soule was on heau'n so bent,
No minute but it Came and Went;
That, ready her last debt to pay,
She summ'd her life vp euery day;
Modest, as Morne, as Midday, Bright;
Gentle, as Euening, Coole, as Night;
'Tis true, but all so weakly said,
'Twere more Significant: She's Dead.
