Death is something that should not be proud, and that Donne's elegy gave Death too much credit. As a Christian, Bulstrode went to Heaven when she died, and Donne did not give her enough credit when he characterized her as a helpless victim of Death in his elegy. Perhaps responding to this criticism, Donne's second elegy focusses on Bulstrode's virtues instead of on Death. Bedford's Elegy has an image of Bulstrode's breast as a crystal palace and the repository of her soul, clearer than the crystal;From out the Christall Pallace of her brestThe clearer soule was call'd to endlesse rest. Sir Edward Herbert was a friend of Jonson's as well as Sir Thomas and Sir John Roe. In July 1609 he commemorated Bulstrode's death with the"Epitaph. Caecil. Boulser". Though the full Latin title of the poem implies that Bulstrode died with an "unquiet spirit and conscience", the poem itself characterizes her as a highly religious virgin who resisted all sin up until her "noble soul" entered Heaven. Like others, Herbert in his commemoration was most likely trying to win Russell's support. Herbert fought over the hair-ribbon of Mary Middlemore, one of Bulstrode's companions at court in December 1609, and in 1611 became involved with Bulstrode's sister Dorothy Bulstrode, driving her husband Sir John Eyre to assault him. "News of My Morning Work" is the only known work credited to Bulstrode, though scholar John Considine says "more ... by her may lie undiscovered". In this "witty piece", Bulstrode utilizes the satirical news form then common that "flourished" in Russell's circle from 1605-1610. As per the genre, "News of My Morning Work" consists of a list of moral and satirical aphorisms. Several of them are humorous criticisms of court and of people who claim to be religious:  Toward the end she writes: "That a man with a female wit is the worst hermaphrodite". This is perhaps the most memorable line, and has been interpreted by many as a jab at Ben Jonson, who "had a career-long interest in hermaphroditism" according to Foster and Banton, as evident in his works "Cynthia’s Revels", "Volpone", and "Epicoene".
