Others seeke titles to their tombes,
Thy deeds to thy name prove new wombes,
And 'scvtcheons to deck their herse,
Which thou need'st not take teares and veres.

Or thy weigh'd jvdgement seasoning it,
Thy eaven & thy like straight ends,
Thy pietie to God and friends,
Thy last wovld still the greatest be
And yet all ioyntly less then the.
Thov stvdiest conscience more than fame,
Still to thy gathred self the same.

Pvrchas'd by rapine worse than stealth,
Nor did'st thov brooding o'er it sit.

This men may blvsh at when they see,
What thy deeds were, what theirs shovld be.
Thov'rt gone before, and I waite now,
T' expect my when and make my how,
Which if my Jesus grant like thine,
Who wets my grave's noe friend of mine.
