Paul.

As she liu’d peerelesse,

So her dead likenesse I doe well beleeue

Excells what euer yet you look’d vpon,

Or hand of Man hath done: therefore I keepe it

Louely, apart. But here it is: prepare

To see the Life as liuely mock’d, as euer

Still Sleepe mock’d Death: behold, and say 'tis well.

I like your silence, it the more shewes‑off

Your wonder: but yet speake, ﬁrst you (my Liege)

Comes it not something neere?
