Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFFGG| Here lies to each her parents' ruth | A |
| Mary the daughter of their youth | A |
| Yet all heaven's gifts being heaven's due | B |
| It makes the father less to rue | B |
| At six months' end she parted hence | C |
| With safety of her innocence | D |
| Whose soul heaven's queen whose name she bears | E |
| In comfort of her mother's tears | E |
| Hath placed amongst her virgin train | F |
| Where while that severed doth remain | F |
| This grave partakes the fleshly birth | G |
| Which cover lightly gentle earth | G |
