On William Hawkins.

Once at his death, and twice in wedlocke blest;

Thrice happy in his labour and his rest;

Espoused now to Christ, his head in life,

Being twice a husband, and in death a wife.

On a Lady.

Two happy days assigned are to men—

Of wedlocke and of death. O happy then,

’Mongst women was she who is here interred,

Who lived out two, and, dying, had a third.

On Richard Carter.

An honest man, a friend sincere,

What more can be said? He’s buried here.
