Thou hast made many houses for the dead;
When my lot calls me to be buried,

I' th' churchyard made one tenement for me.

854. TO ANTHEA.
Anthea, I am going hence
With some small stock of innocence:
But yet those blessed gates I see
Withstanding entrance unto me.
To pray for me do thou begin,
The porter then will let me in.

For my welfare, Julia,

As if o'erwashed in Hippocrene.
