OPHELIA

 

GET THEE TO A NUNNERY

HOW should I your true love know

  From another one?

By his cockle hat and staff,

  And his sandal shoon.

 

He is dead and gone, lady,

  He is dead and gone;

At his head a grass-green turf,

  At his heels a stone.

 

White his shroud as the mountain snow,

  Larded with sweet flowers,

Which bewept to the grave did go

  With true-love showers.
