The longest day must have it's night.
The longest day must have an end.
Nothing so sure as death.
He that ••ookes for dead mens shooes may long goe barefoot.

The Sexton is a fatall mu∣sitian.
Young men may die, old men must die.
Every soxe must pay his own skin to the flayer.
As men live so they die.
He that lives well never dyes amiss.
They die well that live well.
Every man must have something to bring him to his end.
You dye with honour.
Two dismall dayes, the day of death and the day of doome.
As soone goes the lambe∣skin to the market as the old ewes.
All's alike at th' latter day, a bag of gold and wispe of hay.

Be the day never so long, at last comes even song.
No matter how but whe∣ther.
Buryed men bite not.
When the serpent is dead the poyson hurts not.
So hares may pull dead lyons by the bea••d.
'Tis an easie matter to kiss a mans tayle when his breeches be down.
Rich and poore, old and young must die.
No man is happy before his death.
Stat sua cuique dies.
Testamentum est morte confirmatum.

Et pace & bello cunctis stat terminus aevi.
Natura nobis commo∣randi diversorium, non habitandi locum dedit
Mors omnibus commu∣nis.
Mortem optare malum timere pejus.
Ne Dii quidem à morte liberant.
Lex universa, nasci & mori —
Non misere quisquam qui bene vixit obit.
Natalis est aeterni po∣stremus dies.
Contra vim mortis non est medicamen in hor∣tis.
Omnia sunt hominum tenui pendentia filo.
Aeneae magni dextrâ ca∣dis.
Ut discas vivere, disce mori.
Mista senum ac juvenum densantur funera.
Intervallis distinguimur, exitu aequamur.

Alata aetas.
Non refert quâ sed quò.
Mortui non mordent.
Mortuo leoni vel lepores insultant.
Pulvis & umbra sumus.
Somnus mors est brevis, mors somnus longus.
Nullum faeva caput Pro∣serpina fugit.
Nemo foelix ante obi∣tum.
