Edmund Spenser Quote

O what auailes it of immortall seedTo beene ybred and neuer borne to die?Farre better I it deeme to die with speed,Then waste in woe and wailefull miserie.Who dyes the vtmost dolour doth abye,But who that liues, is left to waile his losse:So life is losse, and death felicitie.Sad life worse then glad death: and greater crosseTo see friends graue, then dead the graue selfe to engrosse.
