None Free From Fault.

Out of the world he must, who once comes in.
No man exempted is from death, or sin.

Nothing Free-Cost

Nothing comes free-cost here; Jove will not let
His gifts go from him, if not bought with sweat.

Robert Herrick

Free Welcome.

God He refuseth no man, but makes way
For all that now come or hereafter may.

Robert Herrick

Never Too Late To Die.

No man comes late unto that place from whence
Never man yet had a regredience.

Robert Herrick

Liberty.

Those ills that mortal men endure
So long, are capable of cure,
As they of freedom may be sure;
But, that denied, a grief, though small,
Shakes the whole roof, or ruins all.

Robert Herrick

On Himself.

Some parts may perish, die thou canst not all:
The most of thee shall 'scape the funeral.

Robert Herrick

God's Pardon.

When I shall sin, pardon my trespass here;
For once in hell, none knows remission there.
