While that my soul repairs to her devotion,
\nHere I entomb my flesh, that it betimes
\nMay take acquaintance of this heap of dust;
\nTo which the blast of death\u2019s incessant motion,
\nFed with the exhalation of our crimes,
\nDrives all at last, Therefore I gladly trust<\/p>\n
My body to this school, that it may learn
\nTo spell his elements, and find his birth
\nWritten in dusty heraldry and lines;
\nWhich dissolution sure doth best discern,
\nComparing dust with dust, and earth with earth.
\nThese laugh at jet and marble put for signs,<\/p>\n
To sever the good fellowship of dust,
\nAnd spoil the meeting. What shall point out them,
\nWhen they shall bow, and kneel, and fall down flat
\nTo kiss those heaps, which now they have in trust?
\nDear flesh, while I do pray, learn here thy stem
\nAnd true descent: that when thou shalt grow fat,<\/p>\n
And wanton in thy cravings, thou mayst know,
\nThat flesh is but the glass, which holds the dust
\nThat measures all our time; which also shall
\nBe crumbled into dust. Mark, here below
\nHow tame these ashes are, how free from lust,
\nThat thou mayst fit thyself against thy fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
