Dearest of thousands, now the time draws neere, That with my lines my life must full-stop here; Cut off thy haires, and let thy teares be shed Over my turfe, when I am buried. Then for effusions, let none wanting be, Or other rites that doe belong to me; As love shall helpe thee, when thou do'st go hence Unto thy everlasting residence.
