O mors, quam amara est memoria tua
Language: Latin
O mors, quam amara est memoria tua homini pacem habenti in substantiis suis: viro quieto, et cujus viæ directæ sunt in omnibus, et adhuc valenti accipere cibum! O mors, bonum est judicium tuum homini indigenti, et qui minoratur viribus, defecto ætate, et cui de omnibus cura est, et incredibili, qui perdit patientiam!
