"No longer mourn for me when I am dead Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell Give warning to the world that I am fled. From this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell; Nay, if you read this line, remember not. The hand that writ it; for I love you so, That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot, If thinking on me then would make you woe."

From this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell; Nay, if you read this line, remember not.
