156.LCD.HE   A F#V#N#E#R#A#L#L /E#%9L#E#G#I#E%0. [D5]
156.LCD.001  T%+%1Is lost, to trust a Toombe /with such a guhest.
156.LCD.002  Or to confine her in a Mar-/ble chest,
156.LCD.003  Alas, what's Marble, Ieat, or /Porphirie,
156.LCD.004  Priz'd with the Chrysolite of /either eye,
156.LCD.005  Or with those Pearles, and Rubies /which shee was?
156.LCD.006  Ioyne the two Indies in one Tombe, /'tis glas;
156.LCD.007  And so is all to her mate-/rials, [CW:Though]
156.LCD.008  Though euery inche were ten escu-/rials. [D5v]
156.LCD.009  Yet shee's demolished: Can we keepe /her then
156.LCD.010  In workes of hands, or of the wits /of men?
156.LCD.011  Can these memorials, ragges of pa-/per, giue
156.LCD.012  Life to that name, by which name /they must liue?
156.LCD.013  Sickly, alas, short liu'd, aborted /bee
156.LCD.014  Those Carkas verses, whose soule is /not shee.
156.LCD.015  And can shee, who no longer would /bee shee,
156.LCD.016  Being such a Tabernacle, stoope to /bee
156.LCD.017  In paper wrapt; Or, when shee /would not lie
156.LCD.018  In such a house, dwell in an Ele-/gie? [CW:But]
156.LCD.019  But tis no matter; we may well al-/low [D6]
156.LCD.020  Verse to liue so long as the world /will now
156.LCD.021  For her death wounded it.  The /world containes
156.LCD.022  Princes for armes, and Counsailors /for braines,
156.LCD.023  Lawyers for tongues, Diuines for /hearts, and more,
156.LCD.024  The Rich for stomachs, and for /backes the Poore;
156.LCD.025  The officers for hands, Merchants /for feet
156.LCD.026  By which remote and distant Coun-/tries meet.
156.LCD.027  But those fine spirits which doe tune /and set
156.LCD.028  This Organ, are those peeces which /beget
156.LCD.029  Wonder and loue; And these were /she; and she [CW:Being]
156.LCD.030  Being spent, the world must needs /decrepit bee, [D6v] [30M Smalnesse /of stature.]
156.LCD.031  For since death will proceed to tri-/umph still,
156.LCD.032  He can finde nothing, after her, to /kill,
156.LCD.033  Except the world it selfe, so great /shee.
156.LCD.034  Thus braue and confident may Na-/ture bee,
156.LCD.035  Death cannot giue her such ano-/ther blow,
156.LCD.036  Because shee cannot such another /show.
156.LCD.037  But must we say shee's dead? May't /not be said
156.LCD.038  That as a sundred Clocke is peece-/meale laid,
156.LCD.039  Not to bee lost, but by the makers /hand
156.LCD.040  Repolish'd, without errour then to /stand, [CW:Or]
156.LCD.041  Or as the Affrique Niger streame /enwombs [D7]
156.LCD.042  It selfe into the earth, and after /comes,
156.LCD.043  (Hauing first made a naturall /bridge, to passe
156.LCD.044  For many leagues,) farre greater /then it was,
156.LCD.045  May't not be said, that her graue /shall restore
156.LCD.046  Her, greater; purer, firmer, then /before?
156.LCD.047  Heauen may say this, and ioy int's, /but can wee
156.LCD.048  Who liue, and lacke her, here this /vantage see?
156.LCD.049  What is't to vs, alas, if there haue /beene
156.LCD.050  An Angell made a Throne, or /Cherubin?
156.LCD.051  We lose by't: And as aged men are /glad [CW:Being]
156.LCD.052  Being tastlesse growne to ioy in /ioyes they had, [D7v]
156.LCD.053  So now the sicke staru'd world must /feed vpon
156.LCD.054  This ioy, that we had her, who now /is gone.
156.LCD.055  Reioyce then nature, and this world /that you
156.LCD.056  Fearing the last fires hastning to /subdue
156.LCD.057  Your force and vigor, ere it were /neere gone,
156.LCD.058  Wisely bestow'd, and laid it all on /one.
156.LCD.059  One, whose cleare body was so pure, /and thin,
156.LCD.060  Because it need disguise no thought /within.
156.LCD.061  Twas but a through-light scarfe; /her mind t'enroule,
156.LCD.062  Or exhalation breath'd out from /her soule. [CW:One,]
156.LCD.063  One, whom all men who durst no /more, admir'd. [D8]
156.LCD.064  And whom, who ere had worth /enough, desir'd;
156.LCD.065  As when a Temple's built, Saints /emulate
156.LCD.066  To which of them, it shall be conse-/crate.
156.LCD.067  But as when Heauen lookes on vs /with new eyes,
156.LCD.068  Those new starres euery Artist ex-/ercise,
156.LCD.069  What place they should assigne to /them they doubt.
156.LCD.070  Argue, and agree not, till those /starres goe out:
156.LCD.071  So the world studied whose this /peece should be,
156.LCD.072  Till she can be no bodies else, nor /shee:
156.LCD.073  But like a Lampe of Balsamum, /desir'd [CW:Rather]
156.LCD.074  Rather t'adorne, then last, shee /soone expird; [D8v]
156.LCD.075  Cloath'd in her virgin white inte-/gritie;
156.LCD.076  For marriage, though it doe not /staine, doth dye.
156.LCD.077  To scape th'infirmities which wait /vpon
156.LCD.078  Woman, shee went away, before /shwas one.
156.LCD.079  And the worlds busie noyse to ouer-/come,
156.LCD.080  Tooke so much death, as seru'd for /%2opium.%1
156.LCD.081  For though shee could not, nor could /chuse to die
156.LCD.082  Shee'ath yeelded to too long an /Extasie.
156.LCD.083  He which not knowing her said Hi-/story,
156.LCD.084  Should come to reade the booke of /destinie, [CW:How]
156.LCD.085  How faire and chast, humble and /high shee'ad beene, [E1]
156.LCD.086  Much promis'd, much perform'd, /at not fifteene,
156.LCD.087  And measuring future things, by /things before,
156.LCD.088  Should turne the leafe to read, and /read no more,
156.LCD.089  Would thinke that either destinie /mistooke,
156.LCD.090  Or that some leaues were torne out /of the Booke.
156.LCD.091  But tis not so: Fate did but Vsher /her
156.LCD.092  To yeares of Reasons vse, and then /infer
156.LCD.093  Her destinie to her selfe; which li-/bertie
156.LCD.094  Shee tooke but for thus much, thus /much to die.
156.LCD.095  Her modestie not suffering her to /bee [CW:Fellow-]
156.LCD.096  Fellow-Commissioner with desti-/nee, [E1v]
156.LCD.097  She did no more but die; if after /her
156.LCD.098  Any shall liue, which dare true good /prefer,
156.LCD.099  Euery such person is her deli-/gate,
156.LCD.100  T'accomplish that which should /haue beene her fate.
156.LCD.101  They shall make vp that Booke, and /shall haue thankes
156.LCD.102  Of fate and her, for filling vp their /blankes.
156.LCD.103  For future vertuous deeds are Le-/gacies.
156.LCD.104  Which from the gift of her exam-/ple rise.
156.LCD.105  And tis in heau'n part of spirituall /mirth,
156.LCD.106  To see how well, the good play her, /on earth%2.
