[I feare not death, feare is more paine]
I feare not death, feare is more paine
then death it selfe to courage true:
In youth who dies or else is slaine
paies nature but a debt yts due.
Who yongest dies he doth [but] paye
a debt (he owes) before the daye

In youth who dies or else is slaine

Who yongest dies he doth [but] paye
a debt (he owes) before the daye
And such a debte longer to haue
doth nothinge profite men at all
Death is a debt nature doth craue
and must be pay'd by great & small.
I loth not warres, nor longe for strife
I feare not death, nor hate not life.
