¶ Of Flesh.
ALI Flesh is Grass, doth therefore rot.For why?Can man be born to live, and notto die?'Tis happiness to leave this lifeand world,And have our names, where joys are rife,enroll'd.The dead ne're fear what Death can do:his blastWill come no more; for why? that wois past.Then to the Soul appeareth Loveand Joy:For God will not his Turtle-Dovedestroy.Then though a Torch-light here, 'tis better farTo be put out, and after rise a Star.
