Religion, Love,     
in suffering Breast,
Her Charity, Mildness,     
and the rest,
Hath crown'd her Soul;     
all mourn with Fame,
Her Husbands loss,     
and Midwives blame.
She died in Childbed.     
seventy times blest and seven,
Her Child and She deliver'd,     
both in Heaven.
Obiit octavo die Januarii, Ann. Dom. 1611. ætat. suæ 16.
