Death & Dying

In Musgraues hearse I finde the Muses graue

by Richard Brathwaite 1588?–1673

From A Strappado for the Divell (1615)

Death & Dying

In Musgraues hearse I finde the Muses graue,
For by his losse a Patron lost they haue:
Yet he's not lost, but is ascended higher,
And sings with Muses of the heauenly quire.
