AN ELOGIE On the Deplorable Death of the Right Honourable Margaret Countess of Rothes . Who Departed this Life the 22d . August 1700. Now the most Fragrant Flower of Femal Kvnde , In this our Age , falls , scarce is left behind , Or may her Parallel for Pietie , Pregnant Patience , and Christian Charitie : Her Noble Actions made her Virtues known , And to Posterity they ought to be shown , For Pietie and Charitie always did Attend each Motion of her Sp'rit which hid , Cou'd no ways be , when those who timely were Objects of Charity apply'd to her , The Widdows Reli●ff , and the Orphans stay . To the Disc●n●olat she was alway A timely support ; So that her Worth and Fame , Throughout all Ages her . Vertues shall proclaime . A tender Mother , and a Loveing Wife ; Yea truely Chest in every step of Life , Inclynd to Vertue in all things that might tend To the Advantage of her dearest Freind , Constant Affection , Inviolable Love , Did to her Noble Consort allways prove , Her Chastity to him to be sincere Dureing her Weddlock Bonds , and since they were , Dissolv'd by Death to're Noble Off-spring she , And others of her Sex for pietie ; And Vertue hath allways a Matron been , That non her to Excell was ever seen : For as she was most Noble by her Birth : So farr more Noble was she for her worth ; That all who know her Actions must Confess : No Tongue or pen is able to Express , The great Renown the memory of her Name , Doth still Deserve , for Everlasting Fame , Shall it Proclaim to Future Ages , That Posterities her praise may Celebrate . From time to time , while time doth Remain , Untill the World dissolve , and her Soul come again . Which is ascended I presume to Rest . Into Eternall joyes , with those are blest ; For Pietie and Vertue did attend , All the actions of her Life unto the End .
