Phoenix and the Turtle

Shakespeare

Let the bird of loudest lay,
On the sole Arabian tree,
Herald sad and trumpet be,
To whose sound chaste wings obey.

Let the priest in surplice white,
That defunctive music can,
Be the death-divining swan,
Lest the requiem lack his right.

Truth may seem, but cannot be:
Beauty brag, but 'tis not she;
Truth and beauty buried be.
