To the immortal Memory of Lady Clifton

Sir John Beaumont (1583–1627)

THY quiet rest from death this good derives:

Instead of one, it gives thee many lives.

While these lines last, thy shadow dwelleth here,

Thy fame itself extendeth everywhere;

In Heav’n our hopes have plac’d thy better part;

Thine image lives in thy sad husband’s heart,

Who, as when he enjoy’d thee, he was chief

In love and comfort, so is he now in griefe.
