Dunstan, than to thee     
chanc'd this many a Yeere.

Earth from her Coffin     
heave thy ponderous Stones,

And for thy sacredst Relique     
keepe her Bones.

Since, spite of Envy,     
it cannot be deny'd,

Saint-like she liv'd,     
and like a Saint she dy'd.

A Table hanging upon a Pillar, in the middle Row of Pews, with this Inscription.

On the Death of the Discreet and Vertuous Mistrisse Mary Davies, Daughter of Thomas Croft, of Okley Parke, in the County of Salop, Esquire, and Wife of John Davies, of Hereford. She died on New-yeeres day, 1612.

Here lies her Dust,     
who in a span of Life,
Compast the Vertue     
of the worthiest Wife:
If oddes there be     
(well measur'd) 'twill be found,
She more acquir'd;     
so her bright Stocke renown'd:
And to those Wives     
that Glory most doe gaine,
She was a Mirrour     
that no Breath could staine.
Though she a Female were,     
her Judgement was,
To truest Masculines,     
a truer Glasse:
For she by Nature, Grace,     
and Wisdome too,
Shew'd by a Woman,     
what best Men should doe
In their best Actions:     
For she acted nought
That came not from a grave     
and gracious Thought.
But Nature (though familiar,     
yet most strange,
Shewing how much     
she doth delight in change,
In thousand Fashions     
doth her Selfe array)
Permits nought heere     
to stand at constant stay.
And Time and Death     
with her therein conspire,
Else had these Ashes still     
held vitall Fire.
But these just Lines,     
in Time and Death's despight,
Shall leade all Times     
to doe her Vertue right.

A good Name is better than a good Oyntment, and the day of death, than the day that one is born. Eccles. 7. 3.

Sith Vertue Her immortall made,     
Death (envying all that cannot dye)
Her Earthy Parts did so invade,     
As in it wrackt Selfe-Majesty.
But so her Spirit inspir'd her Parts,
That she still lives in Loyall Hearts.

Many Daughters have done well, but thou excellest them all.

I have fought a good Fight, I have finished my Course, I have kept the Faith.
From henceforth is laid up for me a Crown of Righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge shall give mee at that day; and not me only, but to them also that love his appearing. 2 Tim. iv. 7, 8.]
