    “Our graves that hide us from the searching sun
    Are like drawn curtains when the play is done.
    Thus march we, playing, to our latest rest,
    Only, we die in earnest—that’s no jest.”

    So long as youth and thou are of one date,
    But when in thee time’s furrows I behold,
    Then look I death my days should expiate.”
