O heavy herse!
Mourn now, my Muse, now mourn with tears besprint;
O careful verse!
"O thou great shepheard, Lobbin, how great is thy grief?
Where be the nosegays that she dight for thee?
The coloured chaplets wrought with a chief,[20]
The knotted rush-rings, and gilt rosemary?
For she deemed nothing too dear for thee.
Ah! they be all yclad in clay;
One bitter blast blew all away.
