Unless it dieth, yes you say –
so bury me with earth;
then upon my sleepy-day,
I’ll waken in a birth.
He who loseth, yes you say –
so take all mine estate;
when this body’s put to lay,
I’ll find a treasure great.
Go and selleth, yes you say –
so grant an open hand;
come the end my fleshly stay,
I’ll gain a victor’s band.
I do liveth, yes you say –
so breathe abroad your breath;
in your self supply a way,
and I shall not fear death:
and I shall not fear death.
