Reading edition
"We quote a verse from his "Death-Bed Lament," contained in this volume:—
"Deceiving world, that with alluring toys Hast made my life the subject of thy scorn, And scornest now to lend thy fading joys, To out-length my life, whom friends have left forlorn;— How well are they that die ere they are born, And never see thy slights, which few men shun, Till unawares they helpless are undone!"
