He is dead and gone, lady, He is dead and gone; At his head a grass-green turf, At his heels a stone.
Time shall unfold what plaited cunning hides: Who cover faults, at last shame them derides.
Let me be that I am and seek not to alter me.
O Death, made proud with pure and princely beauty!
Though age from folly could not give me freedom, It does from childishness.
Nay, I am the very pink of courtesy.
