Shakspere. The soul which doth with God unite, Those gaieties how doth she slight, Which o'er opinion sway ! Like sacred virgin wax, which shines On altars or on Martyrs' shrines, How doth she burn away ! How violent are her throes till she From envious earth deliver'd be, Which doth her flight restrain ! How doth she doat on whips and racks, On fires, and the so dreaded axe, And every murdering pain ! How soon she leaves the pride of wealth, The flatteries of youth and health, And fame's more ...precious breath ; And every guady circumstance That doth the pomp of life advance At the approach of death. W. Habington. Sweet day ! so cool, so calm, so bright ! The bridal of the earth and sky : The dew shall weep thy fall to-night, For Thou must die. Sweet rose ! whose hue, angry and brave, Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye : Thy root is ever in the grave, And thou must die. Sweet spring ! full of sweet days and roses, A box where sweets compacted lie : My music shows you have your closes, And all must die.
