So close the ground, and 'bout her shade

80Black curtains draw;—my Bride is laid.

Sleep on, my Love, in thy cold bed,

Never to be disquieted!

My last good night! Thou wilt not wake,

Till I thy fate shall overtake:

Till age, or grief, or sickness, must

Marry my body to that dust

It so much loves; and fill the room

My heart keeps empty in thy tomb.
