MEMOIR. 



in her own handwriting, the following lines of a 17th 

 century poet : 



" 'Tis fit one flesh one liouse should have, 

 One tomb, one epitaph, one grave ; 

 And they that lived and loved either 

 Should dye, and lye, and sleep together." * 



How strange that the words should have found in her 

 own case such exact fulfilment.

* The words "'Tis fit one flesh one house should have," <S:c., form 

 part of the epitaph of Richard Bartholomew and his wife in the 

 parish church of Burford. 



It stands thus : — 



Lo Hudled up, Together lye 



Gray Age, Greene Youth, White Infancy. 



If Death doth Nature's law dispence. 



And reconciles all difference, 



'Tis fit One Flesh One House should have. 



One Tombe, One Epitaph, One Grave ; 



And they that lived and loved either 



Should, dye and Lye and sleep together. 



Goe Reader, whether goe or stay, 



Thou must not hence be long away.
