There is a fair, white relic in my room

    THERE is a fair, white relic in my room : 
    God, how I love it !

    Twine, twine 
    Green keys of sycamine 
    Round and above it. 
    Then lay it softly in my heart's new tomb. 

    Ah, mourning friends, these sullen sighs and deep 

    No longer breathe me ! 
    Sing, sing 

    Praise of the royal thing 

    Death doth bequeath me, 

    And carve me in my memory to keep !
