Wherefore I praised the Dead which are already dead, more than the Living which are yet alive.
Ecclesiastesiv. 2.
Better it is to die than live,I constantly have taught;Since human Life with anxious Care,And various Ills is fraught.Ungrateful Death me now compelsThe like sad Path to tread,With those whom in the silent GraveThe Fates severe have laid.

The like sad Path to tread,
With those whom in the silent Grave
The Fates severe have laid.
