John Dryden - Epitaph on the Lady WhitmoreJohn Dryden - Epitaph on the Lady Whitmore
Work rating: Low


Fair, kind, and true, a treasure each alone, A wife, a mistress, and a friend, in one; Rest in this tomb, raised at thy husband`s cost, Here sadly summing, what he had, and lost. Come, virgins, ere in equal bands ye join, Come first and offer at her sacred shrine; Pray but for half the virtues of this wife, Compound for all the rest, with longer life; And wish your vows, like hers, may be returned, So loved when living, and, when dead, so mourned.
