First Line: Underneath this marble stone

Subject(s): Love
First Line: Underneath this marble stone
Last Line: And their earth to earth again.
Subject(s): Love
Underneath this Marble Stone,
Lie two Beauties joined in one.
Two whose Loves Death could not sever,
For both lived, both died together.
Two whose Souls, being too divine
For Earth, in their own Sphere now shine.
Who have left their Loves to Fame,
And their Earth to Earth again.
