Death is better than a bitter Life or continual Sickness.
Ecclesiasticusxxx. 17.
Long has my Life most irksome been,Oppress’d with Care and Pain;No anxious Wish my Bosom firesHere longer to remain.My certain Judgment does pronounce,Better to die than live;For Death to Minds worn out with CareGlad Peace and Rest will give.
