You that now view our fatal End,

Warn'd by our Case your Carriage mend;

Soon or late grim Death will come,

Who'd not prepare for a certain Doom:

Span long Life with lifeless Joys,

What's in this World but care and noise.

Youth, tho' most blest by being so,

As vast thy Joy, as great thy Woe;

Ev'ry Sin that gives Delight,

Will in the end the Soul affright:
