Let mee lay my weariness in these armes, no=thing but kisses speake, my thoughts be com-passed in those circles eyes, eyes on no object

with touch of those round breasts whiter and
softer then the downe of swans:
let mee of thee and of thy beautyes glory
An endles tell but never wearying story

Shee oft hath walkt by tibers flowing banks
and heard the swan sing her owne epitaph
When shee heard her shee held her peace
and dyed: let others raise from earthly
things their praise heaven hath stood still
to heare her happy ayres and ceased theternal
musicke of the spheares to marke her voyce and
mend their tune by hers:
