| Or you survive when I in earth am rotten | B |
| From hence your memory death cannot take | A |
| Although in me each part will be forgotten | B |
| Your name from hence immortal life shall have | C |
| Though I once gone to all the world must die | D |
| The earth can yield me but a common grave | E |
| When you entombed in men's eyes shall lie | D |

| Which eyes not yet created shall o'er read | G |
| And tongues to be your being shall rehearse | F |
| When all the breathers of this world are dead | G |
| You still shall live such virtue hath my pen | H |
| Where breath most breathes even in the mouths of men | H |
