Stay, courteous passenger, this stone
Sayes something that concernes each one.
If maydes and bachelors, that wed
For pledges of ther marriage bed,
Here may they fix theire hearts, and wish
For such a lovely boy as this.
But oh, it will allay desire,
So soone your noblest sparkes expire.
If you be loving parents, here's
A jewel richly worth your teares.
Yet know, although you shed amaine,
It cannot be redeemed againe.
