Nullus flos semper floret, nec spirat adores, Si non existens tumen est, quia restat in esse.

No sooner blossom’d but by icy death, inhospitably nipt, we fell to th' earth. Our beautys lost, our sweetness it is gone, until we gain a resurrection. And spring afresh, and with moore beauty rise and flourish in the endless paradise
