We by this friendship shall survive in death,
Even in divorce united.

In time forgets to burn,
But this pursues us to the Urn,
And marries either’s Dust.”

The earth by the sky staid with, the daily close of their junction,
The heav’d challenge from the east that moment over my head,
The mocking taunt, See then whether you shall be master!”
