English poem
Epitaph
by Increase Mather (1639–1723)
Great Sarah's Faith; joind with Good Hannah's Prayer; For Hearing of the Word, glad Maries Care; Aged Elizabeths Just Walk; To dwell Nigh Prophets, a true Shunamitish Zeal; An Humble Soul, Trim'd with an High Neglect Of Gay Things, but with Ancient Glories deck't; All these Expir'd at once! Array'd with Them, Our HULDAH's gone to Gods Jerusalem: Without a Figure so, with her Last Breath Shee Triumph'd o'er that Holophernes, DEATH. Perfect in Thoughts, Words, Deeds, She soars on high, Performing what her Name did signifie.
