Song: Under a green elm lies Luke Shepherd’s helm that...

Under a green Elm lies Luke Shepherds Helm that steer'd him ev'ry way wherefore now he's gone mourning there is none he follow'd her Corps in gray He smil'd at the Grave like a fleering Knave she'll tell him on't at the last day for if we must rise with the same Body and Eyes she'll have the same Tongue folks say.
