    By such a Youth, in the green shade,
    Were perilous to hear.”

    is over.
    Hands crumble like clay,
    the mouth, its bewildered tongue,
    turns yellow with pain....”

    “No longer mourn for me when I am dead
    Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell
    Give warning to the world that I am fled
    From this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell:
    Nay, if you read this line, remember not
    The hand that writ it; for I love you so,
    That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot,
    If thinking on me then should make you woe.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
