For every one that passed by that way,
Without a sculture read that there I lay.
Here now the second time untomb'd I lye,
And thus much have the best of Destiny:
Corruption, from which onely one was free,
Devour'd my grave, but did not feed on me:
My first grave took me from the race of men,
My last shall give me back to life agen.
