XXIX. The Happy Dead
Epitaph on Master Philip Gray
By Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
 
            READER, stay:
And if I had no more to say
But: ‘Here doth lie, till the last day,
All that is left of PHILIP GRAY’,
It might thy patience richly pay:        5
    For if such men as he could die,
    What surety of life have thou and I?
