EPIGRAPH: Not so, not cold ! but very poor instead !
Ask God who knows ! for frequent tears have run
The colours from my life, and left so dead
And pale a stuff, it were not fitly done
To give the same as pillow to thy head,
Go farther ! Let it serve to trample on.

EPIGRAPH: Ah! well may the children weep before you!
They are weary ere they run;
They have never seen the sunshine, nor the glory
Which is brighter than the Sun.
