Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 17. VVhy we must all dye

IT being the law of Nations to restore
What we have borrow'd, ther's no remedy:
But being engaged to a Creditor,
Who will not lose his debt: we must needs dye:
Nor can we plead one halfe a termes delay;
For when Death craves it, we are forc'd to pay.
