User: Her Mother's Epitaph
Here lies
A worthy matron of unspotted life,
A loving mother and obedient wife,
A friendly neighbor, pitiful to poor,
Whom oft she fed, and clothed with her store;
To servants wisely aweful, but yet kind,
And as they did, so they reward did find;
A true instructor of her family,
The which she ordered with dexterity;
The public meetings ever did frequent,
And in her closest constant hours she spent;
Religious in all her words and ways,
Preparing still for death till end of days;
Of all her children, children lived to see,
Then, dying, left a blessed memory.
Her Father's Epitaph

To truth a shield, to right a wall,
To sectaries a whip and maul,
A magazine of history,

In manners pleasant and severe,
The good him loved, the bad did fear;
And when his time with years was spent,
In some rejoiced, more did lament.
