Shelley, Hellas.

The following are not exactly parallel, but being "in pari materia," are sufficiently curious and alike to merit annotation:

"But the common form [of urns] with necks was a proper figure, making our last bed like our first: nor much unlike the urns of our nativity, while we lay in the nether part of the earth, and inward vault of our microcosm."

Sir T. Browne, Hydriotaphia, p. 221. (St. John's edit.)

"The babe is at peace within the womb,

The corpse is at rest within the tomb.

We begin in what we end."

Shelley, Fragments.

"The grave is as the womb of the earth."

Pearson on the Creed, p. 162.
