(with apologies to John Dunne )
this is my play's last scene
my journey's last mile
my race, idly, yet quickly run
my span's last inch
my minute's last point
gluttonous death will instantly
disjoint my body and my soul
I shall sleep a space
but my ever walking part
shall see the face
who already shakes my every joint
as my soul takes flight
my earthborn body in the earth
shall dwell
farewell
