That defunctive music can,
Be the death-divining swan,
Lest the requiem lack his right.

With the breath thou givest and takest,
'Mongst our mourners shalt thou go.

Flaming in the phoenix' sight;

Neither two nor one was called.

Seemeth this concordant one!

If what parts can so remain.

That are either true or fair
For these dead birds sigh a prayer.
