THE AGES OF MAN
125
As at his birth he was,
So shall he be.)
And after—he is even as one dead.
Happy the man who deemeth his own part
That of a stranger who is quickly fled:
Who hath no contemplation in his heart
Nor thought nor sense
But his soul's after-life and recompense.
(For in the end
He shall return:
As at his birth he was,
So shall he be.)
