[My days are extinguish'd and gone]

My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, &c. —xvii. 1.

My days are extinguish'd and gone,
My time as a shadow is fled,
And gladly I lay myself down
To rest with the peaceable dead:
The dead ever-living attend,
Whose dust is all safe in the tomb,
And many a glorified friend
Is ready to welcome me home.
