Thomas Urquhart (Томас Эркарт)
Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 25. That too much bewailing, and griefe is to be avoided at Funerals, to one lamenting the decease of a friend
IT were more fit, that you relinquish'd orrow,
Then that you should be left by it; that may,

And what to morrow may be done to day;
We should therefore, as soon's we can desist
From that, wherein we cannot long insist.
