1 |
Let the bird of loudest lay,
|
|
2 |
But thou shrieking harbinger,
|
|
3 |
From this session interdict
|
|
4 |
Let the priest in surplice white,
|
|
5 |
And thou treble-dated crow,
|
|
6 |
Here the anthem doth commence:
|
|
7 |
So they loved, as love in twain
|
|
8 |
Hearts remote, yet not asunder;
|
|
9 |
So between them love did shine,
|
|
10 |
Property was thus appalled,
|
|
11 |
Reason, in itself confounded,
|
|
12 |
That it cried, How true a twain
|
|
13 |
Whereupon it made this threne
|
|
14 |
THRENOS. |
|
15 |
Beauty, truth, and rarity,
|
|
16 |
Death is now the phoenix' nest
|
|
17 |
Leaving no posterity:
|
|
18 |
Truth may seem, but cannot be:
|
|
19 |
To this urn let those repair
