Straunge sorrow, not to be beleiv’d,
Whenas the sonne and heire is greiv’d.
Reade then, and mourne, what ere thou art
That doost hope to have a part
In honest epitaphs; least, being dead,
Thy life bee written, and not read.

She had two sons, Charles and James, and a daughter, Elizabeth, who all died young. Her father died without surviving issue, September 22d, 1629.
