The Epitaph.
In this Marble, buried lyes
Beauty, may enrich the skyes,
And adde light to Phœbus eyes.
Beauty, may enrich the skyes,
And adde light to Phœbus eyes.
Sweeter then Aurora's ayre
When shee paints the Lillyes faire,
And gilds Cowslips with her haire;
When shee paints the Lillyes faire,
And gilds Cowslips with her haire;
Chaster then the virgin Spring,
Ere her blossomes shee doth bring,
Or cause Philomell to sing.
Ere her blossomes shee doth bring,
Or cause Philomell to sing.
If such goodnesse live mongst men
Bring me to it, I know then
Shee is come from heaven agen;
Bring me to it, I know then
Shee is come from heaven agen;
But if not, yee standers by
Cherish me, and say that J
Am the next design'd to dye.
Cherish me, and say that J
Am the next design'd to dye.
