On Elizabeth L. H
分类: 英语诗歌
WOULDST thou hear what Man can say
In a little? Reader stay.
Underneath this stone doth lie
As much Beauty as could die:
Which in life did harbour give
To more Virtue than doth live.
If at all she had a fault
Leave it buried in this vault.
One name was Elizabeth
The other let it sleep with death:
Fitter where it died to tell
Than that it lived at all. Farewell.
