Mrs
Dobyns (1658)
The epitaph read thus:
Here lyeth a mother in our
mother's womb
who to her only child did prove a
tomb. Thus heavens did decree that she should have
a son, heir of her body and her
grave. Though she a mother was, she did begin
Strange ! not till after
death to lie in.
More for to tell you, who, what,
here doth lye
Would prove, witt, beauty and the
best must dye
