AN ELEGIE On the Death of Mrs Rebecca Palmer . Daughter of A. P. M. Who died in the Fifteenth Year of her Age , November 17. 1667. Here lies the Cask , the Jewel it self is gone : To be refined more , and shine alone . The Virgin-Soul that breathed in this dust , Makes haste to Rest , and take her journey must To Saints above , and there must Iesus see , Whom Saviour , Bridegroom , Love , and Lord , to be She chosen had : Whose Call betimes she hears ; Her Ear and Heart inclin'd : VVhen come to years , Th' afflictions of the Saints was made to choose , Refusing vain delights ; nor run with those Who for a while pleasures of sin enjoy , Best time mis-spend , and precious Souls destroy ; Hence she repin'd not at a suffering-state , Reproach for Christ she knew how t' estimate . She lov'd his word , and sat at Jesus Feet , And tell she would , that all his words were sweet . Th' Assemblies of the Saints were her delight , Christs Voice to hear , and of Him have a sight : Her Closet-Cries and Tears observed were , Though she closest retirements sought , with fear , ( As oft exprest ) of Heart-hypocrisie ; Of which she kept a gracious jealousie . Her gentle sweet Behaviour , Modesty , Lovely with Natures Ingenuity , Gave her acceptance with the Saints , won Love And kindness from them , who her Spirit did prove : To Parents , tender , chearful , and content ; Still saying , God will provide , we shall not want : To fellow-Children , carriage sweet and dear ; To Friends , to All , her Words endearing were . Example to all youth , helpt to deny , By Cboice , fond triflles , and their vanity . The sins and troubles which her future Age Might have expos'd her to , which times presage , Prevented are , b' an early sudden flight Int' her best Fathers House and Mansion bright : Her compleat Marriage-state with Christ to make , Scarce staying a farewel of her Friends to take Leaving a savour here ; and Those she left To Bless and Praise , not sorrow , as if bereft . Go Heav'n-born Soul , soon ripe , till we shall meet Before the Throne , and sing at Jesus Feet : Till Dust a fitter Cabinet shall be , When raised up , for Immortality . Sic Ebullivit Affectus .
