The Dust close’d up within this Marble Shrine/Was (when it breath’d) a Blossom Feminine,/Brought up in Courte; The Ill whereof, & Good,/She quickly found, in Competition stood./The Good Ill Courte She, therefore, soon forsooke;/And, happy in her Choice, an Husband tooke./Yet, ‘tho She were with happy Hymen Bless’t,/She found The World could yeild no Perfect Rest;/ And, therefore, having, Three and Thirty Yeares,/Liv’d in True Love with him that loved her deere,/She left him too, and all that Worlly is,/To gaine an Everlasting Crowne of Blisse. Nobil … pijs prognata Parentibus, Anlam/Reginae, Virto, Virginis Ingreditur./Paulo ter Senos cum plus adoleverat Annos,/Aedibus, ad Sponsum, Principis Egreditur./Fansta prius Caelebs, magè Jansta Marita Marito/Nupta triennalis terq decinnis erat./Aggreditur tandem Caelum, quo Vota trahebant./Hinc Dolor huic Mundo est, quod valedixit ?.
