THRENOS.

Beauty, truth, and rarity,

Grace in all simplicity,

Here inclos'd in cinders lie.

Death is now the phoenix's nest;
And the turtle's loyal breast
To eternity doth rest,

Leaving no posterity:
'Twas not their infirmity,
It was married chastity.

Truth may seem, but cannot be;
Beauty brag, but 'tis not she;
Truth and beauty buried be.

To this urn let those repair

That are either true or fair;

For these dead birds sigh a prayer .

WM. SHAKE-SPEARE.

5 For these dead birds sigh a prayer.] We have no tradition for whom this very original and graceful elegy was intended: we have full faith in the ascription of it to Shakespeare, but in the work from which it is taken it stands by itself unexplained. Richardson, in his excellent Dictionary, quotes it as if it formed part of "The Passionate Pilgrim;" but Chester's "Love's Martyr" and "The Passionate Pilgrim are entirely different works, the first having been printed two years after the second.
