SoNnet 71

33 10 7
                                    

No longer mourn for me when i am dead
Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell
Give warning to the world that i am fled
From this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell:

Nay, if you read this line, remember not
The hand that writ it: for I love you so,
That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot,
If thinking on me then should make you woe.

O, if I say, you look upon this verse
When I perhaps compounded am with clay,
Do not so much as my poor name rehearse;
But let you love even with my love decay;

Lest the wise world should look into your moan,
And mock you with me after I am gone.

William Shakespeare - Sonnet 71
