Thus much the sacred oracles declare; That all are blefled or miserable there; Tho', if there's such variety of iate, None good expire too soon, nor bad too late.; For my own part, with resignation, still I can submit to my Creator's will? Let him recal the breath from him I drew, When he thinks fit, and when he pleases too. T.he way of dying is my least concern-; That will give no disturbance to my urn.

But to a world of everlasting bliss Why would you go, and leave me here in this?-'Tis a dark passage; but our foes shall view, . I'll die as calm, tho' not so brave, as you; That my behaviour to the last may prove Your courage is not greater than my love. The hour approach'd: As ..</p>
