William and Elizabeth Cotton (1656)
Forty Nine yeares they lived man and wife
And whats more rare thus many without strife
Shee first departing hee a few weekes tryed
To live without her could not and so dyed
Both in theire wedlocks great Sabatick rest
To be where theres no wedlock ever blest
And having here a jubily begun
Theyr taken hence that it may nere be don
