1 But be contented: when that fell arrest 2 Without all bail shall carry me away, 3 My life hath in this line some interest, 4 Which for memorial still with thee shall stay. 5 When thou reviewest this, thou dost review 6 The very part was consecrate to thee: 7 The earth can have but earth, which is his due; 8 My spirit is thine, the better part of me: 9 So then thou hast but lost the dregs of life, 10 The prey of worms, my body being dead, 11 The coward conquest of a wretch's knife, 12 Too base of thee to be remembered. 13 The worth of that is that which it contains, 14 And that is this, and this with thee remains. |
