george herbert - church monuments - richard mitchley lyrics
while that my soul repairs to her devotion
here i intomb my flesh, that it betimes
may take acquaintance of this heap of dust;
to which the blast of death’s incessant motion
fed with the exhalation of our crimes
drives all at last. therefore i gladly trust
my body to this school, that it may learn
to spell his elements, and find his birth
written in dusty heraldry and lines ;
which dissolution sure doth best discern
comparing dust with dust, and earth with earth
these laugh at jet, and marble put for signs
to sever thе good fellowship of dust
and spoil the meeting. what shall point out them
whеn they shall bow, and kneel, and fall down flat
to kiss those heaps, which now they have in trust?
dear flesh, while i do pray, learn here thy stem
and true descent: that when thou shalt grow fat
and wanton in thy cravings, thou mayst know
that flesh is but the glass, which holds the dust
that measures all our time; which also shall
be crumbled into dust. mark, here below
how tame these ashes are, how free from l*st
that thou mayst fit thyself against thy fall
