Page:Bride's burial, or, The affectionate lovers (1).pdf/8

( 8 ) And now this lover lives,

a dicontented life,

Whoe bride was brought unto the grave,

a maiden and a wife.

A garland freh and fair,

of lillies there was made,

In igns of her virginity,

and on her coffin laid.

Six maidins all in white,

did bear her to the ground;

The bells did ring in olemn ort,

and made a doleful ound.

In earth they laid her then,

for hungry worms a prey;

So hall the fairet face alive,

at length be brought to clay.

Thus do you ee by this,

how frail in life and grace;

Now haven bid us all prepare,

for that blet happy place.
