Come away, come away, death, And in sad cypres let me be laid; Fly away, fly away, breath; I am slain by a fair cruel maid.

William Shakespeare
Cypresses, Maids, Fairness
'Twelfth Night' (1601) act 2, sc. 4, l. 51
Come away, come away, death, And in sad cypres let me be laid; Fly away, fly away, breath; I am slain by a fair cruel maid.
