<strong>The</strong> Phœnix <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Turtle</strong>THRENOS.Beauty, truth, <strong>and</strong> rarity,Grace in all simplicity,Here enclos’d in cinders lie.Death is now <strong>the</strong> phœnix’ next;And <strong>the</strong> turtle’s loyal breastTo eternity doth rest,Leaving no posterity:‘Twas not <strong>the</strong>ir infirmity,It was married chastity.Truth may seem, but cannot be;Beauty brag, but ‘tis not she;Truth <strong>and</strong> beauty buried be.To this urn let those repairThat are ei<strong>the</strong>r true or fair;For <strong>the</strong>se dead birds, sigh a prayer.6
