on_o thy_o silent_a grave_n and_o write_v on_o that_o earth_n which_o such_o honour_n have_v to_o clothe_v that_o flesh_n wherein_o thyself_o be_v clad_v and_o pardon_v i_o sweet_a saint_n who_o i_o adore_v that_o i_o this_o tribute_n pay_v out_o of_o the_o store_n of_o line_n and_o tear_n that_o be_v only_o due_a to_o thou_o oh_o do_v not_o think_v it_o new_a idolatry_n though_o you_o be_v only_o sovereign_a of_o this_o land_n yet_o universal_a loss_n may_v command_v a_o subsidy_n from_o every_o private_a eye_n and_o press_v each_o pen_n to_o write_v so_o to_o supply_v and_o feed_v the_o common_a grief_n if_o this_o excuse_n prevail_v not_o take_v these_o tear_n to_o your_o own_o use_n as_o shed_v for_o you_o for_o when_o i_o see_v she_o die_v i_o then_o do_v think_v on_o your_o mortality_n for_o since_o nor_o virtue_n wit_n nor_o beauty_n can_v preserve_v from_o death_n hand_n this_o their_o heavenly_a mould_n where_o they_o be_v frame_v all_o and_o where_o they_o dwell_v i_o then_o know_v you_o must_v die_v too_o and_o do_v melt_v into_o these_o tear_n but_o think_v on_o that_o day_n and_o when_o the_o god_n resolve_v to_o take_v away_o a_o saint_n from_o we_o i_o that_o do_v know_v what_o dearth_n there_o be_v of_o such_o good_a soul_n upon_o the_o earth_n begin_v to_o fear_v lest_o death_n their_o officer_n may_v have_v mistake_v and_o take_v thou_o for_o she_o so_o have_v thou_o robe_v we_o of_o that_o happiness_n which_o she_o in_o heaven_n and_o i_o in_o thou_o possess_v but_o what_o can_v heaven_n to_o her_o glory_n add_v the_o praise_n she_o have_v dead_a live_v she_o have_v to_o say_v she_o be_v now_o a_o angel_n be_v no_o more_o praise_n than_o she_o have_v for_o she_o be_v one_o before_o which_o of_o the_o saint_n can_v show_v more_o

worship_v she_o her_o virtue_n have_v all_o honour_n here_o for_o this_o world_n be_v too_o bad_a to_o hate_v or_o envy_v she_o these_o can_v rise_v so_o high_a as_o to_o repine_v at_o deity_n but_o now_o she_o be_v amongst_o her_o fellow_n saint_n they_o may_v be_v good_a enough_o to_o envy_v she_o this_o way_n there_o be_v loss_n in_o the_o change_n betwixt_o heaven_n and_o earth_n if_o she_o shall_v leave_v her_o servant_n here_o below_o to_o be_v hate_v of_o her_o competitor_n above_o but_o sure_o her_o matchless_a goodness_n needs_o must_v move_v those_o bless_a soul_n to_o admire_v her_o excellence_n by_o this_o mean_n only_o can_v her_o journey_n hence_o to_o heaven_n prove_v gain_v if_o as_o she_o be_v but_o here_o worship_v by_o man_n she_o be_v by_o angel_n there_o but_o i_o

to_o tell_v the_o story_n of_o my_o martyrdom_n but_o oh_o thou_o idol_n of_o my_o soul_n become_v once_o pitiful_a that_o she_o may_v change_v her_o stile_n dry_v up_o her_o blubber_a eye_n and_o learn_v to_o smile_v rest_v then_o blessed_v soul_n for_o as_o ghost_n fly_v away_o when_o the_o shrill_a cock_n proclaim_v the_o infant-day_n so_o must_v i_o hence_o for_o lo_o i_o see_v from_o far_o the_o minion_n of_o the_o muse_n come_v be_v each_o of_o they_o bring_v to_o thy_o sacred_a hearse_n in_o either_o eye_n a_o tear_n each_o hand_n a_o verse_n to_o my_o mistress_n in_o absence_n though_o i_o must_v live_v here_o and_o by_o force_n of_o your_o command_n suffer_v divorce_n though_o i_o be_o part_v yet_o my_o mind_n that_o be_v more_o myself_o still_o stay_v behind_o i_o
