+{{Text|Fear no more the heat o' the sun}}
-Fear no more the heat o' the sun,
-Nor the furious winter's rages;
-Thou thy worldly task hast done,
-Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages;
-Golden lads and girls all must,
-As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.
-Fear no more the frown o' the great;
-Thou art past the tyrant's stroke:
-Care no more to clothe and eat;
-To thee the reed is as the oak:
-The sceptre, learning, physic, must
-All follow this, and come to dust.
-Fear no more the lightning-flash,
-Nor the all-dreaded thunder-stone;
-Fear not slander, censure rash;
-Thou hast finished joy and moan;
-All lovers young, all lovers must
-Consign to thee, and come to dust.
-No exorciser harm thee!
-Nor no witchcraft charm thee!
-Ghost unlaid forbear thee!
-Nothing ill come near thee!
-Quiet consummation have;
-And renownéd be thy grave!}}
