To Die. v. Death. Souls departed.

To cast off the robe of clay. To drop into the grave. To pass the fatal ferry. Death unjoynts the soul and body. Whose latest breath Hath freely paid their full arrears to death. Become a tenant to the grave. Matriculated among the dead. Enrolled in the Register of death. To quit scores with nature. Rak't up in deaths cold embers. The stiffening cold benums her senceless limbs. The winter of cold death Congeales her path of life, and stops her breath. To make A swift descent into the Stygian lake. H••s eyes do swim in night, To pay their debt to the exacting fates. To go on natures embasse. Like poor farmers pay. Quit-rent to nature on the very day.

When we bequeath Our bodies as a Legacy to death. When death shall lulle us in eternal rest. The meeting eyelids conclude a lasting league. To house with darkness and with death. When we must Resolve into neglected dust. When we must Resolve to our originary dust. When we must Commit an incest with our mothers dust. Their rolling eyes together set in debt. Together they expire their parting breath. Their heavy eyes with dying motion ••urning. They close and sigh out death To dislodge the soul. To passe the flamy pile. To accomplish their fate. To pay his period to fate. Sm••ke to the house of death. Whose soul hath fled th' abodes of men. To pay tribute to the fates. To Pluto's mansion dive. To hide his wretched head In Ploto's house, and live amongst the dead. To kisse the cup of death. To nature he obedience gave, And kneeld to do her homage in the grave. His eyes possesse eternal night. The Parcae with impartial knife, Have left his body tenantless of life. ••ossest with lasting sleepe. The pale ghost fleets into aire. ••reading the pathes that lead ••o the dark region of the dead. ••olded up in death. To force Between two long-joyn'd lovers sad divorce. When life doth ebbe away. ••ost in cold night of death. To fall To a loathed nothing, in the ••unera••. To become A Potentate within the starry court Free from th' Eclypse of earth.

Fee from the darksome prison of their clay. To break the prison of our clay. To sayle ore the vast main of death. To shift our fl••sh, to crosse the S••igian lake. T••at have performed the taske of life. Put out the tapour of our dayes. A soul uncas'd, unorgand by the hand of death. To sleepe in peaceful ashes. Death unclasps the fleshy cage. To have his exit from the common scene. Death breaks the shell of sin. And there is hatcht a Cherubin. The Gordian knotted band Of lifes untied. To pay the shot at natures table. To return to their mothers dusty lap. The body is confined to dust. Take a poor lodging in a bed of dust. VVrapt in the cold embraces of the grave. To pay to nature her last duties. To walk the way of nature. To submit to the law of nature ••n the falling eye-lids death appears, VVhen we that precipice shall tread, Vhence none return that leads unto the dead. The tombe Yawns to devoure him. Darknesse veiles the setting light, VVe to the graves infernal prison must Descend, and rot in silent shrouds of dust. Death's all-curing hand doth close the eyes. Lost in the ashes of their funeral.
