On a Gentleman and his Wife, who dyed both within a very few dayes.
THrice happy Paire, who had and have
Living one Bed, now dead one Grave:
Whose love being equall, neither could
A life unequall wish to hold,
But left a Question whether one
Did follow 'cause her Mate was gone,
Or th'other went before to stay
Till that his fellow came away,
So that one pious teare now must
Besprinkle either Parents dust,
And two great sorrowes joyntly Runne
And close into a larger one,
Or rather turne to joy, to see
The Buriall but the Wedding be.
