Who seek by trophies and dead things
To leave a living name behind,
And weave but nets to catch the wind.
John Webster
ON THE TOMBS IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY
Mortality, behold and fear!
What a change of flesh is here!

Who seek by trophies and dead things
To leave a living name behind,
And weave but nets to catch the wind.
John Webster
Mortality, behold and fear!
What a change of flesh is here!
Think how many royal bones
