[Life's but a feast; and when we die]
Which may be thus put into English.
Life's but a feast; and when we die,Horace would say, if he were by,
‘Friend, thou hast eat and drank enough,
‘'Tis time now to be marching off:
‘Then like a well-fed guest depart,
‘With cheerful looks, and ease at heart;
‘Bid all your friends good-night, and say,
‘You've done the business of the day.’
