Hymn in Happy Approach to Death.
Come forward, Death, and let us talk.
While near to thee I stand;
l fear thee not; SO draw near
To shake thy thrice cold hard
I welcome thee to do Thy work.
Soon as my eands are RUIZ
I cannot form an empty wish
Thy coming stroke to sAuu.
In some dark chamber of the grave
Do thou this body lay:
For i'll thy hands, o Death, my friend.
fearless leave my clay.
Haste, take thy dart. thy spear, thy ha~.
And lift thy killing hand
I'll look thee boldly in the face.
And thus undsunted stand

To n,ilgle with yon sera pln.
And in their strains adore
