“How many paltry, foolish, painted things,That now in coaches trouble every street,Shall be forgotten, whom no Poet sings,Ere they be well wrapt in their winding-sheet!Where I to thee eternity shall give,When nothing else remaineth of these days,And queens hereafter shall be glad to liveUpon the alms of thy superfluous praise.”
