14. A certaine old mans expression before his death, to his Son.

That J am at the period of mine age:
Nor you, nor J, have any cause to mourne;
For life is nothing, but a Pilgrimage;
When we have travel'd long, we must returne:
Let us be glad then, that my spirit goes,
After so many toiles, to his repose.
