In Obitum Honorabilis Dominae, Dominae ELISABETHAE, JACOBI LANGHAM, Equitis Aurati conjugis praecharissimae, im∣maturum, quae quinto Calend. April. novissimè dilapso fatis concessit.
QƲi multae proavos ostentat imaginis, omniVirtutis propriae nomine saepe caret.Nobilis haec Domina insignes matresque patresque,Enumerat plures, extrahit undè genus.His ornata licèt, licèt ornatissima, cum sitSingula Regali sanguine vena tepens.Hujus opus tamen, hujus honos, apprendere Christum,Hinc sacra fit vitae pagina norma suae.Hinc praeteztatum pectus virtutibus auctum;Hinc quoque caelesti verba referta sale.Vita interstinctis quasi floribus insitus Hortus:Divite decursus messe refectus Ager.Tanta penes totum diffusa est gratia gestum,Ʋt nisi quod laudes, dicat agatve nihil.Tempora deficerent, si singula dicere tentem,Omnia, sunt meritis metra minora suis.

Mortua sed nunc est, quid dixi? mortua vivit,Vivet apud Dominum, tempus in omne Deum:Scilicet huic mors est liber status absque labore,Nullum ubi peccatum, sed mora labis inops.
Aliud Brevius.
SPonsam permittunt hanc tantum fata, sed ultraVivere, & in terris usque manere negant.Talia, quae lux haec profert, spectacula monstrant,Rebus in humanis stansve moransve nibil.Ast simul ac Nati ferè, cogimur ire, redire,Nex ubi perpetua est, & sine fole Dies.
Thomas Martyn.
