Mortal, what hast thou of such grave concern That thou indulgent in too sickly plaints? Why this bemoaning and be weeping death? For if thy life sometime and behind To thee was grateful, and not all thy good Was heaped as in sieve to flow away And perish unavailingly, why not, Even like a banqueter, depart the hall, Laden with life?
