Qui, notus nimis omnibus,
Ignotus moritur sibi.
Senecæ, Thyest. ii. 401.
To him, alas! to him, I fear,
The face of death will terrible appear,
Who in his life, flattering his senseless pride,
By being known to all the world beside,
Does not himself, when he is dying, know,
Nor what he is, nor whither he's to go.
Cowley.
