Death & Dying
Ausonius: Thesauro invento
Translated by Richard Lovelace (1659) · From Lucasta: Posthume Poems (1659)
Death & Dying
A treasure found one, entring at death's gate,
Triumphing leaves that cord, was meant his fate;
But he the gold missing, which he did hide,
The halter which he found he knit: so dy'd.
