His wasted life her weary lodge forewent.

Which when she saw, she stayèd not a whit,

But after him, did make untimely haste:

Forthwith her ghost out of her corps did flit,

And followed her mate, like turtle chaste.

To prove that death, their hearts cannot divide;

Which living were in love so firmly tied.

The gods, which all things see, this same beheld.

And pitying this pair of lovers true;
