Dig a grave both deep and wide
Spade-cleave the wintered bog,
Inter his swaddled form inside
Breathe again as fog.
Dig another grave this time
Less wide but equal deep;
Melt Her quick with garnish of lyme,
Rent the spent sun seeps.
Dig one last grave, you man
By the measures of your eye;
A hole bespoke for my bulk’s span
To input me when I die.
