AT OWTHORPE, IN NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.
(Supposed to have been written by Mrs. Hutchinson.)

Quousque Domine!
In a vault under this wall lieth the body of
JOHN HUTCHINSON,
Of Owthorpe, in the county of Nottingham, Esq.,

Eldest son and heire of Sir Thomas Hutchinson, by his first wife, the Lady Margaret, daughter of Sir John Biron, of Newstead, in the said county.

	This monument doth not commemorate
	Vain airy glorious titles, birth, and state;
	But sacred is to free, illustrious grace,
	Conducting happily a mortal’s race;
	To end in triumph over death and hell,
	When, like the prophet’s cloak, the frail flesh fell,
	Forsaken as a dull impediment,
	Whilst love’s swift fiery chariot climb’d th’ ascent.
	Nor are the reliques lost, but only torn,
	To be new made, and in more lustre worn.
	Full of this joy he mounted, he lay downe,
	Threw off his ashes, and took up his crowne.
	Those who lost all their splendour in his grave,
	Ev’n there yet no inglorious period have.
