Here lyes the Mould, the Coffin and the Shell
That doth the Shell, the Mould, and Coffin hold,
Where late our deare friends blessed soule did dwell;
Now Heaven is to this blessed soule the Mould,
The Coffin, and the Shell become, untill
The generall Assises of the world, when all
Soules their owne Moulds and Coffins shall fulfill,
And to their old Shels, every Kernell fall.

In hopefull expectation of which day
Our worthy Weld, whom wee so justy mourne,
Leaves here his Gage, that he'll no longer stay,
Than he must needs, but suddenly returne.
True signe, that of his word hee will be just,
Thus in his absence, to leave us the care
Of his deere dust, as his Feoffees in trust;

Thus in his absence, to leave us the care
Of his deere dust, as his Feoffees in trust;
O Grave (for his sake) sacred, he well ware
No violence be done unto his dust,
But kept inviolate untill he come,
Till then, religious Ashes rest in peace
(More than Mausolus in his glorious Tombe)
Till the renewing of your lives old lease.
