Upon a Lady that dyed in child-bed, and left a daughter behind her.
AS Gilly flowers do but stayTo blow, and seed, and so away;So you sweetLady (sweet as May)The gardens-glory liv'd a while,To lend the world your scent and smile.But when your own faire print was setOnce in a Virgin Flosculet,(Sweet as your selfe, and newly blown)To give that life, resign'd your own:But so, as still the mothers powerLives in the pretty Lady-flower.
