'I wish I had a quiet tomb,
Beside a little rill;
Where birds, and bees, and butterflies,
Would sing upon the hill.'

He Prayeth Best Who Loveth Best
'He prayeth best who loveth best
All things, both great and small;
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.'

Healfast, Healfast, Ye Hero Wounds
''Healfast, healfast, ye hero wounds;
O knight, be quickly strong!
Beloved strife
For fame and life,
Oh, tarry not too long!''

And If Your Nancy Frowns, My Lad
''And if your Nancy frowns, my lad,
And scorns a jacket blue,
Just hoist your sails for other ports,
And find a maid more true.''
