| 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
 | |
