Man's life is like unto a winter's day,—
Some break their fast and so depart away;
Others stay dinner, then depart full fed;
The longest age but sups and goes to bed.
O reader, then behold and see!
As we are now, so must you be.

— Joseph Henshaw Horæ Sucissive (1631)

One doth but break-fast here, another dine; he that lives longest does but suppe; we must all goe to bed in another World.
