• No longer mourn for me when I am dead
  • Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell
  • Give warning to the world that I am fled
  • From this vile world with vilest worms to dwell;
  • Nay, if you read this line, remember not
  • The hand that writ it; for I love you so,
  • That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot,
  • If thinking on me then should make you woe.
  • O, if (I say) you look upon this verse,
  • When I (perhaps) compounded am with clay,
  • Do not so much as my poor name rehearse,
  • But let your love even with my life decay,
  • Lest the wise world should look into your moan,
  • And mock you with me after I am gone.
  • proceed...
