Is it | for fear | to wet | a wid|ow's eye,
, , ,
, ,
That thou | consumst | thy self | in sing|le
life?
, , ,
, ,
Ah^if | thou^is|sueless | shalt^hap | to die,
,
, ,
, ,
The world | will wail | thee like | a make|less
wife;
, , ,
, ,
The world | will be | thy wid|ow and / still weep
, , ,
, ,
That thou | no* form | of thee | hast^left |
behind,
, , ,
, ,
When eve|ry priv|ate wid|ow well | may* keep
, , ,
, ,
By child|ren's eyes,| her hus|band's shape | in
mind:
, , ,
, ,
Look what | an un|thrift in | the world | doth^spend
, , ,
, x
Shifts but | his place,| for still | the world | enjoys
it;
, , ,
, ,
But beaut|y's waste | hath^in | the world | an
end,
, , ,
, x
And kept | unused | the us|er so | destroys it:
, , ,
, ,
No love | toward^oth|ers in | that bos|om sits
, , ,
2 , ,
That on | himself | such murd|erous shame |
commits.
