2894 Joseph Henshaw d 1678 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:2894
AUTHOR:Joseph Henshaw (d. 1678)
QUOTATION: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.
