Twelfth Night
Act II. Scene 4

Come away, come away, death,
    And in sad cypress let me be laid;
Fly away, fly away, breath,
    I am slain by a fair cruel maid.
My shroud of white, stuck all with yew,
            O prepare it;
My part of death, no one so true,
        Did share it.

Not a flower, not a flower sweet,
    On my black coffin let there be strown;
Not a friend, not a friend greet
    My poor corpse where my bones shall be thrown:
A thousand thousand sighs to save,
            Lay me, oh, where
Sad true lover never find my grave,
        To weep there!
