Ambrosius Stub: 'Grav-Skrivt over en Möe'


 

Grav-Skrivt over en Möe

som döde i sit 50 Aar

 

Min Brude-Seng blev reedt i Muld,

    Foruden Bryllups-Gilde;

Thi Döden slog mig selv omkuld,

    Da ingen anden vilde.

 

 

Epitaph for a spinster

who died in her 50th year

 

My bridal bed was laid in earth

    Before the happy wedding;

Death laid me low and solved the dearth

    Of suitors for the bedding.
