First Line: Such love as mourning husbands have
Last Line: -- cold to the touch & blooming to the eye --
Subject(s): Love
Such love as mourning Husbands have.
To her whose spirit has been newly given
To be his guardian Saint in Heaven
Whose Beauty lieth in the Grave Unconquered
as if the Soul could find no purer Tabernacle, nor place of Sojourn,
than the virgin Body it had before dwelt in, & wished to stay there
till the Resurrection -- Far liker to a Flower now than when alive
-- Cold to the Touch & blooming to the eye --
