Summary
Though stone I am, yet must I weep
And sweat forth Teares of woe;
That such a Treasure I should keep,
Beneath Mee buried soe.
But yet lett not the Reader weep,
Unlesse it be for Joy;
The Cabinet alone I keep,
Where in this Treasure Lay:
The Soule above with God on High,
Lives in Eternall Blisse;
Where crowned with the Company,
of glorious Saints she is.
T. T.
She is not Dead but sleepeth.
