LXXX. Of Life and Death.
The ports of Death are sins; of Life, good deeds:Through which, our merit leads us to our meeds.
How wilfull blind is he then, that should stray,
And hath it, in his powers, to make his way!
This World Deaths region is, the other Lifes:
And here, it should be one of our first strifes,
So to front death, as men might judge us past it.
For good men but see Death, the wicked tast it.
