And now this lover lives,
a diſcontented life,
Whoſe bride was brought unto the grave,
a maiden and a wife.
A garland freſh and fair,
of lillies there was made,
In ſigns of her virginity,
and on her coffin laid.
Six maidins all in white,
did bear her to the ground;
The bells did ring in ſolemn ſort,
and made a doleful ſound.
In earth they laid her then,
for hungry worms a prey;
So ſhall the faireſt face alive,
at length be brought to clay.
Thus do you ſee by this,
how frail in life and grace;
Now haven bid us all prepare,
for that bleſt happy place.
finis.
