And rule the fate of businesse, the sad paine

Of action we contemne, and the affright

Which with pale visions still attends our night.

Our joyes false apparitions, but our feares

Are certaine prophecies. And till our eares

Reach that cælestiall musique, which thine now

So cheerefully receive, we must allow

No comfort to our griefes: from which to be

Exempted, is in death to follow thee.

Elegie, 7.
