Under a green Elm
Lies Luke Shepherd's Helm,
That steer'd him ev'ry way,
Wherefore now she's gone,
Mourning there is none;
He follow'd her Corpse in gray.
He smil'd at the Grave,
Like a fleering Knave;
She'll tell him on't at the last day:
For if we must rise
With the same Body and Eyes,
She'll have the same Tongue, folks say.
