[I. The siluer Swanne, who liuing had no Note]

The siluer Swanne, who liuing had no Note,
When death approacht vnlockt her silent throat,
Leaning her breast against the reedie shore,
Thus sung her first and last, and sung no more,
Farewell all ioyes, O death come close mine eyes,
More Geese then Swannes now liue, more fooles then wise.
