Richard Lovelace

            MAR. LIB. IV. EP. 33.

Et latet et lucet, Phaetontide condita gutta
  Ut videatur apis nectare clausa suo.
Sic modo, quae fuerat vita contempta manente,
  Funeribus facta est jam preciosa suis.

                 IN ENGLISH.

Both lurks and shines, hid in an amber tear,
The bee, in her own nectar prisoner;
So she, who in her life time was contemn'd,
Ev'n in her very funerals is gemm'd.
