Ben Jonson - On My First Daughter
Work rating: Medium

Here lies, to each her parents` ruth,
Mary, the daughter of their youth;
Yet all heaven`s gifts being heaven`s due,
It makes the father less to rue.
At six months` end she parted hence
With safety of her innocence;
Whose soul heaven`s queen, whose name she bears,
In comfort of her mother`s tears,
Hath placed amongst her virgin-train:
Where, while that severed doth remain,
This grave partakes the fleshly birth;
Which cover lightly, gentle earth!
