Title:     To .... ... [Die When You Will, You Need Not Wear]
Author: Thomas Moore [More Titles by Moore]

_Maria pur quando vuol, non e bisogna mutar ni faccia ni voce per esser un Angelo_.[1]

Die when you will, you need not wear
At Heaven's Court a form more fair
Than Beauty here on earth has given;
Keep but the lovely looks we see--
The voice we hear--and you will be
An angel ready-made for Heaven!

[1] The words addressed by Lord Herbert of Cherbury to the beautiful Nun
at Murano.--_See his Life_.

[The end]
Thomas Moore's poem: To .... ... [die When You Will, You Need Not Wear]
