O heavy herse!

The heavens do melt in tears without remorse;

O careful verse!

"The feeble flocks in field refuse their former food,

And hang their heads as they would learn to weep;

The beasts in forest wail as they were wood,

Except the wolves, that chase the wand'ring sheep,

Now she is gone that safely did them keep:

The turtle on the bared branch

Laments the wound that Death did launch.
