"Do not so much as my poor name rehearse / But let your love even with my life decay "ĭon't even repeat my name but let your love die with me "O! if, I say, you look upon this verse, / When I perhaps compounded am with clay,"īut if you do read this poem when I am dead, That I don't want you to remember me if it causes you pain. "That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot, / If thinking on me then should make you woe." If you read this poem, don't remember me, because I love you so much, "Nay, if you read this line, remember not / The hand that writ it, for I love you so," Ring the death bell to let everyone know that I have died: "Give warning to the world that I am fled / From this vile world with vilest worms to dwell:" Stop mourning for me immediately after my funeral "No longer mourn for me when I am dead / Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell"
