| No longer mourn for me when I am dead |
1 |
| 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 |
5 |
| 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. |
|
| Oh, if, I say, you look upon this verse |
|
| When I perhaps compounded am with clay, |
10 |
| 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. |
|
