or what end at length has been proposed to me ? Is it that I should help your sorrow by my own tears? Is it, indeed, that I should console you with my oration, and drive away your grief? To greater length, therefore, I will not proceed ; I will recall myself to my proper duty and purpose. Clear away your sorrow, my hearers, and lay aside all memory of GRIMALDl'S FUNERAL ORA TION. 9 grief ! Death made ready, set before us, defined, is in like manner common to all, as a true debt of nature : ' ' ...We owe to death ourselves and ours ; Nor does it spare beauty, riches, or imperial powers. " For " Pale death with equal foot beats at poor men's cottages, And at the towers of kings. " If, indeed, according to the truest sentiment of philo- sophers, we wish to examine this whole matter a little deeper, we shall very readily judge that life, and not death, is true. For (as it is in Euripides) " Who knows not that to live is but to die ? * And that by mortals, to die is deemed to live ?" For, from a certain wise man we have heard that we are now dead, and that for us the body is our sepulchre ; and that then we truly live, when we are liberated from this dark prison of earth and emigrate to the citadel of heaven.
