SWeet day, so cool, so calm, so bright,
The Bridle of the Earth and Sky.
Sweet dews shall weep thy fall to Night,
 For thou must Die!

Sweet Rose, whose hew, angry and Brave,
Bids the rash Gazer wipe his Eye,
Thy root is ever in its Grave,

And thou must Die.

Sweet Spring, full of sweet Days, and Roses,
A Box where sweets compacted lye;
My Musick shews you have your Closes,
 And all must Die.

Only a sweet and virtuous Soul,
Like seasoned Timber never gives,
And when the whole World turns to Coal
 Then chiefly Lives.
