I dare not do thy memory that wrong,

Unto our larger griefs to give a tongue;

I’ll only sigh in earnest, and let fall

My solemn tears at thy great funeral;

For every eye that rains a show’r for thee,

Laments thy loss in a sad elegy.

Nor is it fit each humble Muse should have

Thy worth his subject, now th’ art laid in grave;

No, it’s a flight beyond the pitch of those,

Whose worthless pamphlets are not sense in prose.
