100T'accomplish that which should have beene her Fate.
They shall make up that Booke and shall have thanks
Of Fate, and her, for filling up their blankes.
For future vertuous deeds are Legacies,
Which from the gift of her example rise;
105And 'tis in heav'n part of spirituall mirth,
To see how well the good play her, on earth.
