A Bride? (said she) such Brides as I, can haue
No fitter bridall Chamber, then a Graue;
Death is my bridegroome; and to welcome Death,
My loyall heart shall plight a second faith;
And when that day shall come, that ioyfull day,
Wherein transcendent pleasures shall allay
The heat of all my sorrowes, and conioyne
My palefac'd Bridegrooms lingring hand, with mine;
These Ceremonies, and these Triumphs shall
Attend the day, to grace that Day withall.
