Anne Bradstreet - An EPITAPH On my dear and ever honoured Mother Mrs. Dorothy Dudley, who deceased Decemb. 27. 1643. a

A worthy Matron of unspotted life, br A loving Mother and obedient wife, br A friendly Neighbor, pitiful to poor, br Whom oft she fed, and clothed with her store; br To Servants wisely aweful, but yet kind, br And as they did, so they reward did find: br A true Instructer of her Family, br The which she ordered with dexterity. br The publick meetings ever did frequent, br And in her Closet constant hours she spent; br Religious in all her words and wayes, br Preparing still for death, till end of dayes: br Of all her Children, Children, liv'd to see, br Then dying, left a blessed memory.
