    Great, good, and just, could I but rate
    My grief with thy too rigid fate,
    I'd weep the world in such a strain
    As it should deluge once again;
    But since thy loud-tongued blood demands supplies
    More from Briareus' hands than Argus' eyes,
    I'll sing thy obsequies with trumpet sounds
    And write thy epitaph in blood and wounds.

This grief is crowned with consolation, you old smock brings
forth a new petticoat, and indeed the tears live in an onion that

Have written strange defeatures in my face.
