Rhyme Scheme: AABBCD EEFGHH

Wouldst thou hear what man can sayA
In a little Reader stayA
Underneath this stone doth lieB
As much beauty as could dieB
Which in life did harbor giveC
To more virture than doth liveD
-
If at all she had a faultE
Leave it buried in this vaultE
One name was ElizabethF
Th' other let it sleep with deathG
Fitter where it died to tellH
Than that it lived at all FarewellH

Ben Jonson
