[Flame goes to heav'n, from whence it once did come]

Flame goes to heav'n, from whence it once did come,
Bids earth adue, and what it hath therefrom,
The snuffe to ashes, smoake turnes into ayre;
Lights beauty's gone, which sometime was so faire:
When death hath giv'n his last and fatall blow,
Our soule to Heaven, our Earth to earth doth goe;
Riches and honours, which it once did love,
The Soule now lothes; and seekes to dwell above.
Learne Mortals, all false pleasures to contemne,
And treasures, which the soule must once condemne:
Seeke rather for the graces of the minde,
Which you your convoy to the Heaven will finde.
