Epitaph: Underneath this stone doth lyeBen Jonson (15721637)
U
As much beauty as could dye;
Which in life did harbor give
To more virtue than doth live.
If at all she had a fault,
Leave it buried in this vault.
One name was Elizabeth—
The other, let it sleep with death:
Fitter, where it dyed to tell,
Than that it lived at all. Farewell!
