[ 12] Death levels all their State with Beasts,
Makes all their splendid Titles fade:
[ 13] Yet their posterity approves
The Follies and Mistakes they made.
[ 14] Driv'n to the Grave like sheep, their, strength
And beauty quite consum'd away;
They in Death's Fold shall lie ••nclos'd,
Till the great Resurrection-Day.
A Day in which the Just shall reign,
And o'er the Bad Dominion have:
[ 15] Then I shall be receiv'd to bliss,
After I'm raised from the Grave.
[ 16] Be not concern'd when one's made rich
Or honour'd here; for when he dies;
[ 17] Naked he goes away from hence,
And stript of all his Glory lies.
[ 18] Tho' whilst he liv'd he bless'd himself,
And other Men are apt to praise
His prudent Management, who strives
His Wealth or Family to raise:
[ 19] It's folly all; since he must tread
The Path his Fathers went before;
And in the Place where now he dwells,
Never see Light or Comfort more.
[ 20] Man that to Honour is advanc'd,
And with true Wisdom is not blest;
Tho' pleas'd with faise and flatt'ring hopes,
Shall die and perish like a Beast.
