Epigram 45. An Epitaph on my dear sister Mrs. Lettice Armstrong, who deceased about the 43 of her age, and of Mrs. Lucy Cokain, who dyed about the 34 of hers, and lye both buried at Ashborn

Lettice and Lucy here (two sisters) lye,
So constant to each others company,
Death could not part them long; for four years space
Reduc'd them both to this Sepulchral place.
There was no difference 'twixt them all their Life,
Save one liv'd single, th' other was a Wife.
They both were virtuous; left this world behind
In hope the Glories of the next to finde.
Their Coffins lye so very close, it doth
Appear, as if one Grave contain'd them both:
As their loves did unite them; so the stone
That both of them doth cover, is but one:
And (more to shew their mutual hearts) it hath
For both (upon it) but one Epitaph.
