156.LCC.001  T%+%1Is lost, to trust a Toombe with /such a guhest,
156.LCC.002  Or to confine her in a Marble /chest.
156.LCC.003  Alas, what's Marble, Ieat, or /Porphiry,
156.LCC.004  Priz'd with the Chrysolite of /either eye,
156.LCC.005  Or with those Pearles, and Rubies /which shee was?
156.LCC.006  Ioyne the two Indies in one Tombe, /'tis glas;
156.LCC.007  And so is all to her mate-/rials, [CW:Though]
156.LCC.008  Though euery inche were ten escu-/rials. [D4v]
156.LCC.009  Yet shee's demolished: Can we keepe /her then
156.LCC.010  In workes of hands, or of the wits of /men?
156.LCC.011  Can these memorials, ragges of pa-/per, giue
156.LCC.012  Life to that name, by which name /they must liue?
156.LCC.013  Sickly, alas, short liu'd, aborted /bee
156.LCC.014  Those Carkas verses, whose soule is /not shee.
156.LCC.015  And can shee, who no longer would /be shee,
156.LCC.016  Being such a Tabernacle, stoope to /bee
156.LCC.017  In paper wrapt; Or, when shee /would not lie
156.LCC.018  In such a house, dwell in an Ele-/gie? [CW:But]
156.LCC.019  But 'tis no matter; we may well al-/low [D5]
156.LCC.020  Verse to liue so long as the world /will now
156.LCC.021  For her death wounded it.  The /world containes
156.LCC.022  Princes for armes, and Counsailors /for braines,
156.LCC.023  Lawyers for tongues, Diuines for /hearts, and more,
156.LCC.024  The Rich for stomachs, and for /backes the Poore;
156.LCC.025  The officers for hands, Merchants /for feet
156.LCC.026  By which remote and distant Coun-/tries meet.
156.LCC.027  But those fine spirits which doe tune /and set
156.LCC.028  This Organ, are those peeces which /beget
156.LCC.029  Wonder and loue; And these were /shee; and shee [CW:Being]
156.LCC.030  Being spent, the world must needs /decrepit bee. [D5v]
156.LCC.031  For since death will proceed to tri-/umph still,
156.LCC.032  He can finde nothing, after her, to /kill,
156.LCC.033  Except the world it selfe, so great as /shee.
156.LCC.034  Thus braue and confident may Na-/ture bee,
156.LCC.035  Death cannot giue her such another /blow,
156.LCC.036  Because shee cannot such another /show.
156.LCC.037  But must we say shee's dead? May't /not be said
156.LCC.038  That as a sundred Clocke is peece-/meale laid,
156.LCC.039  Not to be lost, but by the makers /hand
156.LCC.040  Repolish'd, without error then to /stand, [CW:Or]
156.LCC.041  Or as the Affrique Niger streame /enwombs [D6]
156.LCC.042  It selfe into the earth, and after /comes,
156.LCC.043  (Hauing first made a naturall /bridge, to passe
156.LCC.044  For many leagues,) farre greater /then it was,
156.LCC.045  May't not be said, that her graue /shall restore
156.LCC.046  Her, greater, purer, firmer, then /before?
156.LCC.047  Heauen may say this, and ioy in't; /but can wee
156.LCC.048  Who liue, and lacke her, here this /vantage see?
156.LCC.049  What is't to vs, alas, if there haue /beene
156.LCC.050  An Angell made a Throne, or Che-/rubin?
156.LCC.051  We lose by't: And as aged men are /glad [CW:Being]
156.LCC.052  Being tastlesse growne, to ioy in /ioyes they had, [D6v]
156.LCC.053  So now the sicke staru'd world must /feed vpon
156.LCC.054  This ioy, that we had her, who now /is gone.
156.LCC.055  Reioyce then nature, and this world, /that you
156.LCC.056  Fearing the last fires hastning to /subdue
156.LCC.057  Your force and vigor, ere it were /neere gone,
156.LCC.058  Wisely bestow'd, and laid it all on /one.
156.LCC.059  One, whose cleare body was so pure, /and thin,
156.LCC.060  Because it need disguise no thought /within.
156.LCC.061  T'was but a through-light scarfe; /her minde t'enroule,
156.LCC.062  Or exhalation breath'd out from /her soule. [CW:One,]
156.LCC.063  One, whom all men who durst no /more, admir'd, [D7]
156.LCC.064  And whom, who ere had worth /enough, desir'd;
156.LCC.065  As when a Temple's built, Saints /emulate
156.LCC.066  To which of them, it shall be conse-/crate.
156.LCC.067  But as when Heauen lookes on vs /with new eyes,
156.LCC.068  Those new starres euery Artist ex-/ercise,
156.LCC.069  What place they should assigne to /them they doubt.
156.LCC.070  Argue, and agree not, till those /starres goe out:
156.LCC.071  So the world studied whose this /peece should be,
156.LCC.072  Till she can be no bodies else, nor /shee:
156.LCC.073  But like a Lampe of Balsamum, /desir'd [CW:Rather]
156.LCC.074  Rather t'adorne, then last, shee /soone expir'd; [D7v]
156.LCC.075  Cloath'd in her Virgin white inte-/grity;
156.LCC.076  For mariage, though it doe not /staine, doth dye.
156.LCC.077  To scape th'infirmities which waite /vpon
156.LCC.078  Woman, shee went away, before /sh'was one.
156.LCC.079  And the worlds busie noyse to ouer-/come,
156.LCC.080  Tooke so much death, as seru'd for /%2opium.%1
156.LCC.081  For though she could not, nor could /chuse to die,
156.LCC.082  Shee'ath yeelded to too long an /Extasie.
156.LCC.083  He which not knowing her said Hi-/story,
156.LCC.084  Should come to read the booke of /destinie, [CW:How]
156.LCC.085  How faire and chast, humble and /high shee'ad beene, [D8]
156.LCC.086  Much promis'd, much perform'd, at /not fifteene,
156.LCC.087  And measuring future things, by /things before,
156.LCC.088  Should turne the leafe to read, and /read no more,
156.LCC.089  Would thinke that either destinie /mistooke,
156.LCC.090  Or that some leaues were torne out /of the booke.
156.LCC.091  But'tis not so: Fate did but Vsher /her
156.LCC.092  To yeares of Reasons vse, and then /infer
156.LCC.093  Her destinie to her selfe; which li-/bertie
156.LCC.094  Shee tooke but for thus much, thus /much to die.
156.LCC.095  Her modesty not suffering her to /bee [CW:Fellow-]
156.LCC.096  Fellow-Commissioner with desti-/nee, [D8v]
156.LCC.097  She did no more but die; if after /her
156.LCC.098  Any shall liue, which dare true good /prefer,
156.LCC.099  Euery such person is her deli-/gate,
156.LCC.100  T'accomplish that which should /haue beene her fate.
156.LCC.101  They shall make vp that booke, and /shall haue thankes
156.LCC.102  Of fate and her, for filling vp their /blankes.
156.LCC.103  For future vertuous deeds are Le-/gacies.
156.LCC.104  Which from the gift of her example /rise.
156.LCC.105  And 'tis in heau'n part of spirituall /mirth,
156.LCC.106  To see how well, the good play her, /on earth%2.
