Felix qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas	A
Atque metus omnes et inexorabile fatum	B
Subjecit pedibus strepitumque Acherontis avari Virg	C
	-
	-
Happy the mortal who has traced effects	A
To their first cause cast fear beneath his feet	D
And death and roaring hell's voracious fires	A
	-
	-
Thankless for favours from on high	E
Man thinks he fades too soon	F
Though 'tis his privilege to die	E
Would he improve the boon	F
	-
	-
But he not wise enough to scan	G
His blest concerns aright	E
Would gladly stretch life's little span	G
To ages if he might	E
	-
	-
To ages in a world of pain	H
To ages where he goes	A
Gall'd by affliction's heavy chain	H
And hopeless of repose	A
	-
	-
Strange fondness of the human heart	E
Enamour'd of its harm	B
Strange world that costs it so much smart	E
And still has power to charm	B
	-
	-
Whence has the world her magic power	I
Why deem we death a foe	J
Recoil from weary life's best hour	I
And covet longer woe	J
	-
	-
The cause is Conscience Conscience oft	E
Her tale of guilt renews	A
Her voice is terrible though soft	E
And dread of death ensues	A
	-
	-
Then anxious to be longer spared	E
Man mourns his fleeting breath	K
All evils then seem light compared	E
With the approach of death	K
	-
	-
'Tis judgment shakes him there's the fear	L
That prompts the wish to stay	E
He has incurr'd a long arrear	L
And must despair to pay	E
	-
	-
Pay follow Christ and all is paid	E
His death your peace ensures	A
Think on the grave where He was laid	E
And calm descend to yours	A
