Upon his dear deceased Friends, ISAAC and MARY PENINGTON

Since first made One, as One they liv'd together In Heart and Mind, in Flesh and Spirit One, 'Till Death in part this Unity did sever, By taking him and leaving her alone, In silent Grief his Absence to bemoan.

He being gone she could not long survive, But daily from his Death began to die, And rather seem'd to be, than was alive: Restless, till by his Side she came to lie, Her Spirit join'd to his again on high. Thus Death, by whom the parting Blow was given, Brought them together again, in Earth and Heaven.
