52 Northumberland] Lady Anne Cecil, first wife of Algernon Percy, tenth Earl.
55 winter] December 6, 1637.
An Elegy upon Mrs. Kirk, unfortunately drowned in Thames.
For all the shipwracks, and the liquid graves
Lost men have gain'd within the furrow'd waves,
The Sea hath fin'd, and for our wrongs paid use,
When its wrought foam a Venus did produce.
But what repair wilt thou, unhappy Thames,
Afford our loss? thy dull unactive streams
