First Line: Let not thy tomb-stone er'e be laid by me
Last Line: To hold us two, an endlesse honour have.


Let not thy Tomb-stone er'e be laid by me:
Nor let my Herse, be wept upon by thee:
But let that instant when thou dy'st be known,
The minute of mine expiration.
One knell be rung for both; and let one grave
To hold us two, an endlesse honour have.
