Farewell, vain world, I've had enough of thee,
And Valies't not what thou Can'st say of me;

Look but at home, enough is to be done.

Loe here the precious dust is layd;
Whose purely-temper'd clay was made
So fine that it the guest betray'd.

Let my character and motives repose in obscurity and peace, till
other times and other men can do them justice."
