Who being in a strange exile, bewails her own misery, complains upon fortune and destiny, describeth the manner of her breeding, deplores the loss of her parents; wishing peace and happiness to England, which was her native countrey, and withal resolved for death, chearfully commending her soul to heaven, and her body to the earth, and quietly departed this life: anno. 1650. To an excellent new tune, O hone, hone.

Note

Printer's name from Wing.
