England: Vols. I–IV.  1876–79.
 
Salisbury
Epitaph on the Countess of Pembroke
Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
 
UNDERNEATH this sable herse
Lies the subject of all verse.
Sidney’s sister, Pembroke’s mother;
Death! ere thou hast slain another,
Learn’d and fair and good as she,        5
Time shall throw a dart at thee.
