Epitaph on Elizabeth L. H.Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
W
In a little? Reader, stay.
As much beauty as could die;
Which in life did harbour 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 died to tell
Than that it lived at all.Farewell!
