Shall turn to dust and ashes by and by!
Come, ye shall see how in the bosoms dear
Of tender children and belovèd wife
Theogenes, with courage all austere,
Doth prove the temper of his cruel knife;
And when the deadly work is over here,
So little recks he of his wearied life,
He seeks for Death, and by a mode unknown,
Which causes other ruin than his own!
