             Take thou this vial, being in bed, .
             And this distilling liquor drink thou off; .
             When presently through all thy veins shall run .
             A cold and drowsy humor; for no pulse .
             Shall keep his native progress, but surcease; .
             No warmth, no breath, shall testify thou livest; .
             The roses in thy lips and cheeks shall fade .
             To wanny ashes, thy eyes" windows fall .
             Like death when he shuts up the day of life .
