-What is our life, our life? A play of passion.<br>
+To be added shortly.
-Our mirth the music of division.<br>
-Our mother's wombs the 'tiring houses be,<br>
-where we are dress'd for this short comedy.<br>
-Heav'n the judicious sharp spectator is,<br>
-that sits and marks still who doth act amiss.<br>
-Our graves that hide us from the searching sun <br>
-are like drawn curtains when the play is done.<br>
-Thus march we, playing to our latest rest;<br>
-Only, we die in earnest, that's no jest.
