Maxioms by Francis Beaumont And John Fletcher
Lie lightly on my ashes, gentle earthe.
Lie lightly on my ashes, gentle earthe.
A soul as white as Heaven.
A soul as white as Heaven.
That place that does contain
My books, the best companions, is to me
A glorious court, where read more
That place that does contain
My books, the best companions, is to me
A glorious court, where hourly I converse
With the old sages and philosophers;
And sometimes, for variety, I confer
With kings and emperors, and weigh their counsels;
Calling their victories, if unjustly got,
Unto a strict account, and, in my fancy,
Deface their ill-placed statues.
Let the world slide.
Let the world slide.
Something given that way.
Something given that way.
