Death & Dying
Epigram 25: Death is a Iuggler
From The Nipping and Snipping of Abuses (1614)
Death & Dying
A Rich man sicke would needs goe make his will
And in the same he doth command and will
One hundred pound vnto his man cald Will,
Because he alwaies seru'd him with good will:
But al these wills, did prooue to Will but vaine,
His master liues and hath his health againe.
