Where's he that died o' yesterday? What better chance hath he To clink the can and toss the pot When this night's junkets be? For the lad that died o' yesterday Is just as dead — ho! ho! — As the whoreson knave men laid away A thousand years ago.

Additional quotes by Edmund Clarence Stedman

Give me to die unwitting of the day,
And stricken in Life's brave heat, with senses clear!
