Death, be not proud, though some have callèd thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so:
For those whom thou think’st thou dost overthrow
Die not…

And soonest our best men with thee do go—
Rest of their bones and soul’s delivery!

One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
And Death shall be no more: Death, thou shalt die!
