Death & Dying
Epigram 47 (Nature which head long into life doth thring ...)
From Chrestoleros (1598), Book 7
Death & Dying
Nature which head long into life doth thring vs
with our feet forward to our graue doth bring vs
What is lesse ours, then this our borrowed breath,
We stumble into life we goe to death.
