In a shroud of mourning liest thou among the woes,/ My senses in a horrid darkness trapped expire./ Thy hands are bound, my freedom's gone; eternal throes/ Of death have chained my mind upon a funeral pyre. Thou speakest not, I cannot cease to moan all day./ Thy senses gone, I suffer from a dreadful pain./ Thou cold as ice, my entrails burn with flames insane. Thy body soon will turn and into ash decay,/ But I, a goad of my eternal blaze of lust,/ Cannot disintegrate and simply turn to dust.
