ODE I

[When I am gone, and these of mine remaine]

When I am gone, and these of mine remaine,
If these, or ought which I call mine, shall Stay;
Read over what I leave, and you againe
Adde to the Sand of Time; and give my Day
As glorious Life as when I stood to breath:
Hee Dyes not, who Survives his Dust in Death.
I doe not Beg a Life beyond my Fate,
Or aske the Courtesie you would not give;
'Tis neither You nor I can set a Date
To written Numbers, if a Muse bid live;
And these may Live; who knowes, when winds disperse
My Earth in Atomes, Men shall read this verse?
