Anti-necrophilia?

Marvell's 'To His Coy Mistress"

"The grave's a fine and private place,
But none, I think, do there embrace."


Not to mention the verses from "Darling Clementine":

5. In a churchyard, near the canyon,
Where the myrtle doth entwine,
There grow roses, and other posies,
Fertilized by Clementine.

7. In my dreams she still doth haunt me,
Robed in garments soaked in brine.
Though in life I used to hug her,
Now she's dead, I'll draw the line.
