Death & Dying
Epigram 3: Death
From The Nipping and Snipping of Abuses (1614)
Death & Dying
Those that scape fortune, and th' extreames of loue,
Vnto their longest homes, by death are droue:
Where Caesars, Kaesars, Subiects, Abiects must
Be all alike, consum'd to durt and dust:
Death endeth all our cares, or cares encreace
It sends vs vnto lasting paine, or peace.
