Eternity of Love protested.

HOw ill doth He deserve a Lovers name, Whose pale weake flame Cannot retaine His heat in spight of absence or disdaine; But doth at once like paper set on fire, Burne and expire.
True love can never change his seat, Nor did he ever love that could retreat; That noble flame which my breast keeps alive Shall still survive, When my soule's fled; Nor shall my love die when my bodie's dead, That shall waite on me to the lower shade, And never fade.
My very Ashes in their Urne Shall, like a hallowed Lamp, for ever burne.
