Page:Bride's burial, or, The affectionate lovers (2).pdf/7

 Her true love ſeeing this,

did fetch a grievous groan,

As tho' his heart would burſt in two,

and thus he made his moan:

Oh! diſmal unhappy day!

a day of grief and care,

That hath bereav'd me of my love,

whoſe beauty was ſo fair.

Now woe unto the world,

and all therein that dwell;

Oh! that I were in heaven,

for here I live in hell.

And now this lover lives

a diſcontented life,

Whoſe bride was bought unto the grave

a maiden and wife.

A garland freſh and fair

of lillies there was made,

ſigns of her virginity,

and on her coffin laid.

Six maidens all in white

did bear her to the ground;
