Text, by Ben Jonson (1572-1637):
Do but consider this small dust,
Here running in the glass,
By atoms mov'd;
Could you believe that it the body was
Of one that lov'd?
And in his mistress' flame playing like a fly,
Burned to cinders by her eye?
Yes, and in death as life unblest,
To have't expressed,
Even ashes of lovers find no rest
