“Farewell deare flowers, sweetly your time ye spent,
Fit, while ye livd, for smell or ornament,
And after death for cures.
I follow straight without complaints or grief,
Since if my sent be good, I care not, if
It be as short as yours.”

In the ranks of death youll find him,
His fathers sword he has girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him.”
