The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/Upon a Maid That Died the Day She Was Married
271. UPON A MAID THAT DIED THE DAY SHE WAS MARRIED.
That morn which saw me made a bride,
The evening witness'd that I died.
Those holy lights, wherewith they guide
Unto the bed the bashful bride,
Serv'd but as tapers for to burn
And light my relics to their urn.
This epitaph, which here you see,
Supplied the epithalamy.
