Spinse amor e dolor ove ir non debbeA
-
REFLECTING THAT LAURA IS IN HEAVEN HE REPENTS HIS EXCESSIVE GRIEF AND IS CONSOLEDB
-
-
Sorrow and Love encouraged my poor tongueC
Discreet in sadness where it should not goD
To speak of her for whom I burn'd and sungC
What even were it true 'twere wrong to showD
That bless d saint my miserable stateE
Might surely soothe and ease my spirit's strifeF
Since she in heaven is now domesticateE
With Him who ever ruled her heart in lifeF
Wherefore I am contented and consoledB
Nor would again in life her form beholdB
Nay I prefer to die and live aloneG
Fairer than ever to my mental eyeH
I see her soaring with the angels highH
Before our Lord her maker and my ownG

My love and grief compell'd me to proclaimJ
My heart's lament and urged me to conveyK
That were it true of her I should not sayK
Who woke alike my song and bosom's flameJ
For I should comfort find 'mid this world's shameJ
To mark her soul's beatified arrayK
To think that He who here had own'd its swayK
Doth now within his home its presence claimJ
And true I comfort find myself resign'dL
I would not woo her back to earthly gloomM
Oh rather let me die or live still loneG
My mental eye that holds her there enshrinedL
Now paints her wing'd bright with celestial bloomM
Prostrate beneath our mutual Heaven's throneG
