¶Liedtext

1.Those Men that all their Hope and Trust in Heaps of Treasure place, And boast and triumph when they fee their ill-got Wealth increase, Are yet unable from the Grave- their dearest Friend to free; Nor can by force of costly Bribes reverse Th'Almighty Lord's Decree. 2. For tho they think their (lately Seats (hall ne'er to Ruin fall But their remembrance last, in Lands which by their Names they call Yet (hall their Fame be soon forgot, how great soe'r their State; With Beasts their Memory and they shall (hare one common Fate. 3. How great their Folly is who thus absurd Conclusions make And yet their Children, unreclaim'd, repeat the gross Mistake. They all, like Sheep to slaughter led, the Prey of Death are made ; Their Beauty, while the Just rejoice, within the Grave shall fade.
