Golden lads and girls all must,

As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.

         Care no more to clothe and eat;

           To thee the reed is as the oak :

     The scepter,  learning,  physic,  must

       All follow this,  and come to dust.

Nor no witchcraft charm thee!

Ghost unlaid forbear thee!

Nothing ill come near thee!

Quiet consummation have;

And renowned by the grave!
