DEATH.

Omnibus hæc calcanda via est.

Welcom (sweet Death) I love thy cold embrace:
The rich, and bad cannot endure thy face
Life is a passage unto Death; and Death
An entrance into life: When mortal breath
Is once expir'd; to live then we begin
Which life secures us both from death and sin
Conceive a precious pearl involv'd in clay,
Which can its lustre by no means display:
So doth the brighter soul imprison'd lie
In this black dungeon of obscurity:
Nor shall its glory shine, until 'tis free
From the dark clouds of dull mortality.
To come into the world, one way we have;
A thousand ways to hasten to the grave.
The day of Death is secret kept, that we
Might every day suspect that day to be.
As I am not asham'd to live, so I
Can never truly be afraid to die.
O Death! O watchful Death! thou look'st for me:
I am prepar'd, O Death! and look for thee.
