In pious Memory of the nobly-vertuous, and religious Matrone, Margarite, Wife of
Robert Hill, Doctor of Divinty, and Parson of this Parish.
| |

To Gods Glory.
HEre lyes a Margarite
that most excell'd,
(Her Father Wyts,
Her Mother Lichterveld,
Rematcht with Metkerke)
of remarke for birth,
But much more gentle
for her genuine worth:
Wyts (rarest) Jewell,
so her name bespeakes)
In pious, prudent,
peacefull, praise-full life,
Fitting a Sara
and a Sacred's Wife,
Such as Saravia,
and (her second) Hill,
Whose joy of Life,
Death in her death did kill.

FRom my sad Cradle
to my sable Chest,
Poore Pilgrim, I
did find few moneths of rest.
In Flanders, Holland,
Zeland, England, all,
To Parents, troubles,
and to me did fall.
These made me pious,
patient, modest, wise:
And, though well borne,
to shun the the Gallants guise:
But now I rest my Soule,
where rest is found,
My body here,
in a small piece of Ground,
And from my Hill,
that Hill I have ascended,
From whence (for me)
my Saviour once descended.

Live ye to learne that dye you must,
And after come to Judgment just.

Maritus mœstissimus.
Thy rest gives me a restlesse life,
Because thou wert a matchlesse Wife;
But yet I rest in hope to see
That day of Christ, and then see thee.

One night, two dreames
made two Propheticals,
Thine of thy Coffin,
mine of thy Funerals.
If women all were like to thee,
We men for wives should happy be.
