Me me and none but me, dart home O gentle death
and quicklie, for I draw too long this idle breath:
O howe I long till I may fly to heaven above,
unto my faithfull and beloved turtle dove.
Like to the silver Swanne, before my death I sing:
And yet alive my fatall knell I helpe to ring.
Still I desire from earth and earthly joyes to flie,
He never happie liv’d, that cannot love to die.
