HIS COMING TO THE SEPULCHER, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Hence they have born my lord: behold! The stone
Last Line: And live in hell, if that my christ stayes there.


Hence they have born my Lord: Behold! the Stone
Is rowl'd away; and my sweet Saviour's gone!
Tell me, white Angell; what is now become
Of Him, we lately seal'd up in this Tombe?
Is He, from hence, gone to the shades beneath,
To vanquish Hell, as here He conquer'd Death?
If so; I'le thither follow, without feare;
And live in Hell, if that my Christ stayes there.
