... hath itself rewarded here. If those who this opinion have despised, And their whole life to pleasure sacrificed, Should feel their error, they, when undeceived, Too late will wish that me they had believed. If souls no immortality obtain, 'Tis fit our bodies should be out of pain. The same uneasiness which everything Gives to our nature, life must also bring.
