EPITAPH on Mrs. Margaret Pafton of Barningham in Nor

S

folk.

By the Same.

O fair, so young, fo innocent, fo sweet;

So ripe a judgment, and fo rare a wit

Require at least an age in one to meet.

In her they met; but long they could not ftay,
'Twas gold too fine to fix, without allay:
Heav'ns image was in her fo well expreft,
Her very fight upbraided all the rest.
Too juftly ravish'd from an age like this;
Now he is gone, the world is of a piece.
