On the Right Honourable Susan, Countess of Montgomery
Though we trust the earth with thee,
We will not with thy memory;
Mines of brass or marble shall
Speak nought of thy funeral;
They are verier dust than we,
And do beg a history:
In thy name there is a tomb,
If the world can give it room;
For a Vere and Herbert's wife
Outspeaks all tombs, outlives all life.
We will not with thy memory;
Mines of brass or marble shall
Speak nought of thy funeral;
They are verier dust than we,
And do beg a history:
In thy name there is a tomb,
If the world can give it room;
For a Vere and Herbert's wife
Outspeaks all tombs, outlives all life.
