| No longer mourn for me when I am dead
|
| Then 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. |
