Nascendo Morimur.

Quid Cranii sibi forma novi vult ista? Quid Hora? Quidque super Cranio, lumen nova nata, segesque? Nempe dies mortis, vitae fit origo perennis; Quae moritur mundo, Nascitur illa Deo. What doth this Scull? what doth this Houre-glasse show?

The Corne and Palme, that on the Scull doth grow? It meaneth this, that Death the end of strife, Is the beginning to eternall life: Death is the doore to immortality, Shee's borne to God, that to the world doth dye. The burning Taper to his end doth waste, Whilst life and death to meet each other haste; Then happy she, that did her life apply, Here and above to live eternally.

To the permanent honour and remem∣brance of the Pious and All-vertu∣ous Gentlewoman, Mistresse Susan Price, Daughter to the Honourable Baronet, Sir Paul Tracy, of Stanway, in Glocester; and the late dearely be∣loved Wife of the Religious, Lear∣ned, and truly Vertuous Gentleman, William Price, of Winchester, Esquire, one of his Majesties most honoura∣ble Privy Chamber. She died the 13. of March, 1632.

Ye holy Angels, and ye Powers of light, The glad injoyers of Gods glorious sight; You that in faithfull Abrahams bosome rest, You have receiv'd your sanctified Guest. Faire Susan Price hath blessed Heaven obtain'd, And for her well run Race, Gods glory gain'd, Shining in Robes of Immortality, Contemnes the earth and worldly vanity. True Christian faith indued her constant minde, And unto her the promise was assign'd. Most honour'd be her memory, outwasting All Genealogies, and everlasting. Whilst therebe Elements, Stars, Orbes, or Spheares, Dayes Sunne, or Nights Moone, to direct the yeeres, The Heavens possesse her soule, the World her Fame, And faire example, her Vertues, Worth, and Name: What Nature, Goodnesse, Institution, Fact, Could heape to a perfection, was her Act. The Angels sing her glory, who did call Her sweet soule home to its originall, And now shees gone hence for to passe the time She ought her Husband, in a better Clime. There shall her Harvest and her Summer be, Where she shall never any Winter see. Then Price grieve you no more, she lives in joy, Wipe you your teares, her teares are wip'd away.
