Satire 66.
[Things which of Death doe put great men in minde]
Things which of Death doe put great men in minde,Are alwaies not the welcom'st things wee finde:
Since soe; why doe wee muse they soe reject,
All Serving men? and of them not respect.
Oh blame them not; for (faith la) doe ye heare?
To see Death; what is hee that would not feare?
And what is hee that Serving-men should see,
To gape, as waite? but Iudge would that was hee,
For Iuste as Death waites onely to deuoure,
E'ne soe doe they, and haue the selfe same power.
To keepe em then, J praye great men excuse.
For so to thinke one Death they could not chuse.
