Tombe. v. Grave.

The solitary vault. The marble monument. The guilded marble, or the brazen leaves. A stone to bear Witnesse, that once we were. The blind dark vault. The chest Which harbours the pale ashes, sad dust, The vault were the sad ashes lie.

The coole vault. The dark silent roome. The monumental vault. The melancholy chamber of the earth. The marble where we are. Slaves to the tyrant wormes. Cold burthen of our ashes. The gloomy cave. That glorious trouble ore the grave. The gorgeous pallace of the dead. Sad entertainment of the grave. The dead's embroydered clothes. The sacred vault where ashes proudly dwell, And dead, as living do their pomp expresse, In sumptuous tombes, like gorgeous pallaces, That sever the good fellowship of dust, And spoile their meeting. Unenvied mansions of the dead. The gloomy house of death. Deaths silent mansion. That often perjur'd stone bearing a lying postscript. Where none can bribe impartial wormes to spare, Princes corrupt in marble.
