Just came to show how sweet a flower
In Paradise would bloom.
This by Burton, author of The Anatomy of Melancholy:—

Than goods of Fortune, Body, and of Mind?
Lo here at once all this; what greater bliss
Canst hope or wish? Heaven. Why there he is.
ON A TOMBSTONE IN AUVERGNE.
Marie was the only child of her mother,
“And she was a widow.”
