Are there not Poiſons, Racks, and Flames, and Swords; / That Emma thus muſt die by Henry’s Words? / Yet what could Swords or Poiſon, Racks or Flame, / But mangle and disjoint this brittle Frame? / More fatal Henry’s Words; they murder Emma’s Fame.

As over some half-ruined wall, / Disjointed and about to fall, / Fresh woodbines climb and interlace, / And keep the loosened stones in place.

But let the frame of things dis-ioynt, / Both the Worlds ſuffer, / Ere we will eate our Meale in feare, and ſleepe / In the affliction of theſe terrible Dreames, / That ſhake vs Nightly : Better be with the dead, / Whom we, to gayne our peace, haue ſent to peace, / Then on the torture of the Minde to lye / In reſtleſſe extaſie.
