"Heare shee enterred lyes deprived of breath, whose light of vertue once on earth did shyne: Who life contemnd, ne feared gastly death, whom worldly cares coulde cause repine. Resolved to dye, with hope in heaven placed, her Christ to see, whome lyying shee embraced. In prayer fervent still in zeale most strong, in death delighting God to magnifye. = How long wilt thou forgett me Lord. This song in greatest panges was her sweete harmony. Forget thee no: he will not thee forget in booke of lyfe for aye thy name is set"
