Had Heav'n commission'd Death to hold his Hand,
And Vertue could the Force of Death withstand;
This beauteous Virgin had been longer liv'd,
Nor we so soon of her rich Worth depriv'd.

Her Charity, her Truth, her Innocence:
But ripe for God, her Soul ascending flew,
And early bid the sinful World adieu, &c.
