“------πλειων χρονος
ον δει μ' αρεσκειν τοις κατω, των ενθαδε.
εκει γαρ αει κεισομαι.”
Soph. Antig. 74
ον δει μ' αρεσκειν τοις κατω, των ενθαδε.
εκει γαρ αει κεισομαι.”
Soph. Antig. 74
“'Tis more avail to please the dead
Than those 'mong whom this life is led;
'Tis better far to keep a friend
Where there is life that hath no end.”
Than those 'mong whom this life is led;
'Tis better far to keep a friend
Where there is life that hath no end.”
When death on friendship sets his seal,
Past good and ill we trembling feel,
They come forth and before us stand
As written by an Angel's hand.
Past good and ill we trembling feel,
They come forth and before us stand
As written by an Angel's hand.
“They shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob,
in the kingdom of heaven.”
S. Matt viii. 11
When we have hence departed, then
We shall be with our fellow-men,
Which now conceal'd behind the veil
Watch this our life and being frail.
We shall be with our fellow-men,
Which now conceal'd behind the veil
Watch this our life and being frail.
No better wisdom can we learn
Than their unfailing love to earn,
And look on all things with the eyes
Of those unearthly companies.
Than their unfailing love to earn,
And look on all things with the eyes
Of those unearthly companies.
