Celestiall Elegies of the Goddesses and the Muses, deploring the death of the right honourable and vertuous Ladie the Ladie Fravnces Countesse of Hertford | ||
[Let Numas death be still deplorde in Rome]
Let Numas death be still deplorde in Rome,Licurgus end let famous Sparta waile,
Let Athens weepe on Aristides toombe,
For there religion lawes and Iustice faile,
But let faire Cinthias Troynouant lament,
This Barons death whose flesh returnes to dust,
Whose soule is fled aboue the firmament,
Who liu'd on earth religious, true, and iust.
Now ioye O heauen t'enioy th'earths ornament,
Whose heauenly part to the third heauen is fled
His earthly part to earth doth now relent
Both heauen and earth loue him aliue and dead,
His flesh to Elements resolu'd doth dye,
His soule aboue the Element doth flye.
