LXVII.

Ah, with the Grape my fading Life provide,

And wash my Body whence the life has died,

And in a Windingsheet of Vineleaf wrapt,

So bury me by some sweet Gardenside.

LXVIII.

That ev'n my buried Ashes such a Snare

Of Perfume shall fling up into the Air,

As not a True Believer passing by

But shall be overtaken unaware.

LXIX.

Indeed, the Idols I have loved so long

Have done my Credit in Men's Eye much wrong:

Have drown'd my Honour in a shallow Cup,

And sold my Reputation for a Song.

LXX.

Indeed, indeed, Repentance oft before

I swore—but was I sober when I swore?

And then and then came Spring, and Rose-in-hand

My thread-bare Penitence a-pieces tore.
