Stuck heartwise; and whose glassy flatteries

Take all the townsfolk ere they go to rest

Who come to buy and gossip? Doth his eye

Remember a face lovely in a wood?

O people! hasten, hasten, do not buy

His woful wares; the bird of grief doth brood

There where his heart should be; and far away

Dew lies on grave-flowers this selfsame day!
