[Death's dead indeed, the World yet is not]

Death's dead indeed, the World yet is not;
But yet, yet rules the World about;
Of Earth's Affront no more in doubt:
Sith her heer fighting more it sees not.
For, Faith hath now in Heav'n her Station,
Forth of the World; disdaining heer
To see her Seat vsurpt so neer
By Error and Equivocation.
