Upon the death of his
deare wife, Mrs. Anne Feake. Who died the 21th day of June 1651 aged 30 yeares.
An Epitaph:
Thou rests whose rest gives
me a restless life,
Because I loose a kind and
vertuous wife.
Yett this is comfort, that
I hope to see,
The joyfull day of Christ
and in itt thee.
Till then farewell,
farewell, I cannot take
A finall leave before thy
ashes wake,
Ile visitt thee, and when I
leave this light,
Come spend my dayes in the
same cell of night
Where thou art lodgd, and
love shall death enforce
To recompence the wrong of
our divorce.
For by my death hee shall
unit anew
Whom enviously hee parted, mee and you.
