    William Shakespeare wrote the poem "No Longer Mourn For Me..." which consists of 3 stanzas. In the poem, the speaker asks to not be mourned after death and for their memory to fade from the lover's thoughts to avoid causing them sorrow. The speaker requests that even their name not be mentioned once passed, so their love can decay along with their body and the lover avoids being mocked for grieving the speaker after they are gone.

    William Shakespeare

    "No Longer Mourn For Me..."


    No longer mourn for me when I am dead Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell Give warning to the world that I am fled From this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell: Nay, if you read this line , remember not The hand that writ it; for I love you so, That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot, If thinking on me then should make you woe. O, if (I say) you look upon this verse, When I perhaps compounded am with clay, Do not so much as my poor name rehearse; But let your love even with my live decay: Lest the wise world should look into your moan , And mock you with me after I am gone. (From Sonnets, LXXI)
