Томас Эркарт. 1-21 Оплакивающему чужую смерть

Thomas Urquhart. To one bewailing the death of another

Epigrams, The First Book, 21

You have no cause to thinke it strange, that he
Hath yeelded up his last, and fatall breath;
For 'tis no wonder for a man to dye,
Whose life is but a journey into Death:
Nor is there any man of life deprived
For age, or sicknesse: but because he lived.
