Farewell, thou child of my right hand, and joy,
\nMy sin was too much hope of thee, loved boy;
\nSeven years th’ wert lent to me, and I thee pay,
\nExacted by thy fate, on the just day.
\nO, could I lose all father now. For why
\nWill man lament the state he should envy?
\nTo have so soon ‘scaped world’s and flesh’s rage,
\nAnd, if no other misery, yet age?
\nRest in soft peace, and, asked, say here doth lie
\nBen Jonson his best piece of poetry;
\nFor whose sake, henceforth, all his vows be such
\nAs what he loves may never like too much.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t
