It has the following verse inscription: If a large hart, joined with a noble minde Shewing true worth unto all good inclin’d If faith in friendship, justice unto all, Leave such a memory as we may call Happy, thine is; then pious marble keepe His just fame waking, though his lov’d dust sleepe. And though death can devoure all that hath breath, And monuments them selves have had a death, Nature shan’t suffer this, to ruinate, Nor time demolish’t, nor an envious fate, Rais’d by a just hand, not vain glorious pride, Who’d be concealed, wer’t modesty to hide Such an affection did so long survive The object of ’t; yet lov’d it as alive. And this greate blessing to his name doth give To make it by his tombe, and issue live. My dearest dust, could not thy hasty day Afford thy drowsy patience leave to stay One hour longer, so that we might either Have sat up or gone to bed together? But since thy finished labour hath possessed Thy weary limbs with early rest, Enjoy it sweetly, and thy widow bride Shall soon repose her by thy slumbering side, Whose business now is only to prepare My nightly dress and call to prayer. Mine eyes wax heavy, and the day grows old, The dew falls thick, my blood grows cold, Draw, draw the closed curtains and make room, My dear, my dearest dust, I come, I come.
