Be it so, for I submit; his doom is fair, That dust I am and shall to dust return.... O welcome hour whenever! Why delays His hand to execute what his decree Fixed on this day? Why do I overlive? Why am I mocked with death, and lengthened out To deathless pain? How gladly would I meet Mortality, my sentence, and be earth Insensible! how glad would lay me down As in my mother's lap!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
