Long is his life who lingers out the day, Who goes the soonest has the least to pay; Death is the Waiter, some few run on tick, And some alas! must pay the bill to Nick! Tho' I owed much, I hope long trust is given, And truly mean to pay all bills in Heaven. - Epitaph, an epitaph in Barnwell Churchyard, near Cambridge, England This world's a city of crooked streets, Death's the market-place where all men meet; If life were merchandise that men should buy, The rich would always live, the poor might die. - Epitaph No one is to be despaired of as long as he breathes.
