31. A tear over Orania's Tomb.
I.
OH let me weep, weep out mine eyes
Upon the Tomb-stone where ••e lies
Embalmed and enshrin'd.
Let not my senses lead me home,
And leave Orania in the tombe.
Why should I stay behinde?

II.
What hope have I of life or blisse,
Under so dire a fate as this?
What's man without a heart?
There was but one 'twixt she and me,
And that away from me did flee,
When hence she did depart.
III.
And though the life of sense I kept,
'Twere better in the urn I slept;
For sleeping there, I rest.
And then my heart and I should be
Fomented in tranquillity;
And both for ever blest.
