Earth treads on}{ Glittering in Gold,

William Yeardly, and

Who lived on Earth     
free from Strife;
Not farre from this,

To shew, that all     
that live, must dye.
Where they doe

To rise againe,     
as God's elect.
They left foure     
Daughters, and a Sonne,
Who left them this,     
when they were gone.
