When all is done and said, in the end thus shall you find,
He most of all doth bathe in bliss that hath a quiet mind.

More quotes by Thomas Vaux

Is this a life? Nay, death you may it call,
That feels each pain and knows no joy at all.

Our wealth leaves us at death, our kinsmen at the grave;
But virtue of the mind unto the heavens with us we have.

For Age with stealing steps
Hath clawed me with his crutch.

I loathe that I did love,
In youth that I thought sweet;
As time requires, for my behove,
Methinks they are not meet.
* * *
For age with stealing steps
Hath clawed me with his clutch,
And lusty life away she leaps,
As there had been none such.

I loathe that I did love.
