KNock not, but enter; why do'st fear?His ashes sleep, his soul's not here.VVhat here thou see'st, this breathlesse dustLiv'd seav'nteen yeares, Chast, Good, and Iust.VVhen here it could no better be,'T went home ro Immortallity.This Grave, which by its death becameThe sole surviver of thename,VVas left its Heir, 'till that day whenThese ashes shall revive againe;And up to those blest mansions sore,VVhither the soul went long before.
