There is no Day, nor minute of the Day In which, there are not many sent away From Life to Death ; or, many drawing on, Which, must within a little while bee gone. You, often, view the Grave ; you, often, meet The Buriers, and the Mourners, in the street, Conveying of some Neighbour, to that home, Which must, e're long, your dwelling-place become. You see the Race, of many a youthfull Sonne Is finish'd, e're his Father's Course is done; And, that, the hand of Death, regardeth neither Sexe, Youth, nor Age; but, mingleth all together. You, many times, in your owne houses, heare The groanes of Death, and view your Children there, Your lov'ng Parents, or, beloved Wives. To gaspe for breath, and, labour for their lives. Nay, you your selves, do sometime find the paines Of Sicknesse, in your Bowels, and your Vaines, The Harbingers of Death, sometime, begin To take up your whole Bodie, for their Inne. You beare their heavie Aches, on your back; You feele their twinges, make your heartstrings crack; And, sometime, lye imprison'd, and halfe dead, With Age, or with Diseases, on your bed: Yet you deferre your ends; and, still contrive, For temp'rall things; as if you thought to live Sixe Ages longer: or had quite forgot, That, you, and others, draw one common-Lot. But, that, you might not still, the same forget, This Emblem, and this Motto, here were set.
