A DIALOGUE BETWEEN A Blind Man and Death TO WHICH IS ADDED A Heavenly Discourse between A Divine and a Beggar.
Reading edition
Printed and sold in Aldermary Church Yard Bow Lane London.
The argument of this metrical dialogue is that Death comes to a blind man, who asks him his name and business, and on hearing it, tries to escape from him. Death, however, explains matters to him, and brings him into such a seraphic state of mind that he exclaims—
"Now welcome Death upon my Saviour's score Who would not die to live for ever more.
Death.
Sir, I perceive you speak not without reason, I'll leave you now and call some other season.
Blind Man.
Call when you please, I will await that call, And while I can make ready for my fall; In the mean time my constant prayers shall be, From sudden and from endless Death, good Lord deliver me."
