Here rests ye weary Marchant, having tri'd
And finding this world's trafflick vain delite
That empty trifle, and hee's got to trad
In th' other world for gaines which never fade;
Thence you shall see when he acquits this urne
Of everlasting crownes a brave returne;
The stock of goodness he imbarkt before
Ensures him there an hundred fold and more.
