| Cornelis Bloemaert after Gerrit van Honthorst Maid lighting a Lantern (printed couplet concerns sexual availability) ca. 1625 etching and engraving Centraal Museum, Utrecht |
Upon a maid that dyed the day she was marryed
That Morne which saw me made a Bride,
The Ev'ning witnest that I dy'd.
The Ev'ning witnest that I dy'd.
Those holy lights, wherewith they guide
Unto the bed the bashfull Bride;
Serv'd, but as Tapers, for to burne,
And light my Reliques to their Urne.
This Epitaph, which here you see,
Supply'd the Epithalamie.
– Meleager (140-70 BC), translated by Robert Herrick (1648)
