755   Epitaph of Dionysia

HERE doth Dionysia lie:
   She whose little wanton foot
Tripping (ah, too carelessly!)
   Touch’d this tomb and fell into ’t.

       .     .     .     .     .     .     .

Dionysia, o’er this tomb,
   Where thy buried beauties be,
From their dust shall spring and bloom
   Loves and graces like to thee.
